Hey thanks Saron for that last blog post. I'm glad to hear that the students were interesting in learning about the prison industrial complex. Thanks for bringing in that article!
The students were good on Thursday. They did their homework than we read an article about a black star athlete who is also brilliant and a Rhodes scholar. They all took turns reading it and stayed engaged. Before that though we did a little activity in honor of Valentine's day and basically the point of it was to tell each other what we liked about each other to keep their community strong and loving =)
I think showing Letters to the President is a great idea. We will definitely have to do that.
One of the students suggested showing The Great Debators which is actually a good movie and I think we can teach them a lot from of it. I want to show that we take their input seriously and I would like to show it to them. She learned a lot about the student's are miseducated and saw that reflected in this film. I think we can have them lead the discussion and have them think critically.
We can talk more about that as a staff. There won't be a staff meeting tomorrow because there's a holiday, but look out for e-mails!!
Thanks STOMPers!!!!!
