NYT - What’s Going On in This Picture? | Feb. 28, 2022

Look closely at this image, stripped of its caption, and join the moderated conversation about what you and other students see.



1. After looking closely at the image above (or at the full-size image), think about these three questions:
What is going on in this picture?
What do you see that makes you say that?
What more can you find?

2. Next, join the conversation by clicking on the comment button and posting in the box that opens on the right. (Students 13 and older are invited to comment, although teachers of younger students are welcome to post what their students have to say.)

3. After you have posted, try reading back to see what others have said, then respond to someone else by posting another comment. Use the “Reply” button or the @ symbol to address that student directly.
Each Monday, our collaborator, Visual Thinking Strategies, will facilitate a discussion from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time by paraphrasing comments and linking to responses to help students’ understanding go deeper. You might use their responses as models for your own.

4. On Thursday afternoons, we will reveal at the bottom of this post more information about the photo. How does reading the caption and learning its back story help you see the image differently?

What Do the People of Ukraine Want? Watch This Film.


After yesterdays incursion into Ukraine from Russia you know what is happening next.  If you are World Issues or Current Affairs teacher you might want to look into this.  From Diane Ravitch's blog "I just watched the film called WINTER OF FIRE, an amazing documentary about the Ukrainian uprising against the government in the winter of 2013-2014. It is streaming on Netflix.  It’s a story of patriotism and courage. You will see the incredible determination of the Ukrainian people to live lives of freedom and dignity.  I urge you to watch it. It shows up the bobble-head pundits who claim to have the inside track as fools."

What Does It Mean to Ask ‘How Does Ukrainian Compare with Russian?’

Happy Valentines Day but there are more important things to discus.  Do you want WWIII?  Then you better pay attention to the BS that is happening on Ukraine's border.  Putin is just a KGB strongman that knows only how to bully.  What he does not realize is that Ukraine's will have the last laugh.  Maybe not today or tomorrow but we will.  We are not Rusky and we speak Ukrainian.  When we lost Crimea to the Russians the world sat by twiddling their fingers saying lots of things but doing nothing.  Sounds like the same thing is happening again.  Getting to the education aspect of my rant is to know something about the Slavik languages.  If you teach a World Issues or Current Events class please read  about this  by clicking  here hopefully after checking out my amazon.ca ads below.   If you are  making any amazon.ca purchases  please click on my links below first as I will get a small commission on anything you buy even if it is something else as long as it is within 24 hours.   Thanks.  Remember you can follow me by clicking on the blue follow button. This post may contain affiliate links that earns me  a commission at no extra cost to you.
