Rethinking… - Emily

Ok ok ok I'm sorry I completely forgot that this is due on Saturday, I am making a note of it in my calendar and will be better next week. Pinky Promise! I am throwing my self at your feet on bended knee for mercy one last time. 

I Won't Learn from You:

I really appreciated that the teacher in this story still treated racism like an ongoing issue. I think that many people get caught up in the mindset that racism was in the past, therefore not in the present. It seems, that in the south especially that racism is still a large issue, and I believe it will continue to be one until the people that believe it no longer exists realizes that they are wrong. 


Step by step:

Personally I liked the ideas in lessons 2 and 3. I think that a bulletin board could also be used as a gallery space for students art work. So instead of just decorating a bulletin board with store bought decorations the children could use their art work. Not only would it help liven up any hall way, increase class participation because their art work would then be on display for the entire school, but it would also help teach them the value of sharing their art with others.
