I would like to use this in a couple ways next year. First I would like to Skype with other classrooms around the world to allow the kids to share about common stereotypes and commonalities that they have. Also, I would love to Skype with an author or government official. I think it would help to engage students further in books.
Chad,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back in the game. Hopefully you have recovered fully by now. It looks like you had some good family Skype time. I like your idea of addressing stereotypes by connecting to actual people instead of relying on things like media for perceptions of different groups.
