thoughts for the Fall
Class One
establishing up front the social justice idea before heading into the interactive model
tell the story of the bricks, the walls, the cathedral – sunni story – rasputin (no but something like this)
have students write why I want to be a teacher
brainstorm what it means to teach for social justice
use portions of the i have a dream speech
expand the brainstorm
create a definition from this
homework list from writing those reasons that would fall under the sj category
those reasons that would not
any wish to change – another reflection…tied into a reading…pedagogy of the oppressed selections?
Class two – process
then, the interactive model
take time to develop each of the elements (text, context, learner profile, outcomes)
then use the case study of Maria and the little boy to develop this – read and viewed
then, into content about learning.
