@MrsHipgrave Wk6 A1: I think the plan that Minni came up with was brilliant. She protected her identity and kept herself from the possible consequences that she would have had to face. It was because of this plan, her family was also kept safe. #GRAThirst

@MrsHipgrave A4. I would love to create an app that can identify and block fake news. With the amount of information that we receive daily, it would be great to have a tool that check the information fast. #GRAThirst

@MrsHipgrave @varshabajaj A1.She starts realizing all the challenges that they face every day and how unfair it is.Not only the lack of water access,but also the dirtiness of the streets,how small their houses are and how narrow and small their streets are.She realized the lack of resources that they have

@MrsHipgrave WK3 A4: Soon she will discover that Pinky's dad is the mafia boss. I think Pinky is going to have a key role in the story and she is going to help Minni. #xuedchat

@MrsHipgrave WK3 A3: She is talking about the computer class that she is going to take. It provides her with a new skill that is going to open doors. #xuedchat

@MrsHipgrave WK3 A2: Pinky is seeking a friendship and she really likes Minni. On the other hand, Minni enjoyed playing with her and likes her, but she is extremely worried about losing her job. Minni and Faiza have a trust relationship. #xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK3 A1: Minni and Pinky are young girls that want to play and enjoy their childhood, but for several reasons they cannot do it. Pinky and Minni live in two different realities. Pinky has everything that she wants, and Minni’s does not always have her necessities cover. #xuedchat

@MrsHipgrave WK2 A4: This book made me think of “what can be done to provide safe and reliable water to everyone?”. My biggest question “Is Minni able to pass her test with all her new responsibilities?” #xuedchat

@MrsHipgrave WK2 A3: My mantra is “When things get tough, pivot” #xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK2 A2: They have a close relationship. They are sisters but not of blood. You can see that throughout the story. As a support, Faiza paid the bus and went with Minni’s to the 1st day of her job, when she didn’t have much money either.#xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK2 A1: Minni’s biggest pressure is to take on her mom’s responsibilities while she is sick and far away from home, while she must continue going to school and pass the test #xuedchat

@MrsHipgrave WK1A4:This is like what it is happening in the DRC with the extraction of Coltan.Mine owners and politicians have a great benefit,but the regular people and kids are extremely affected by it.Eastern countries dont interfere because it is an essential mineral required for devices.

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK1 A3: Yes, I completely agree with the decision made. It is the smartest thing to do, just to avoid any kind of problems with the water mafia and keep the boys and their families safe. #xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK1 A2: This quote is extremely significant in the story because it is related to Sanjay and Amit being forced to leave Mumbai and go to New Delhi. If they had stayed in the car, these consequences would have never happened. #xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@MrsHipgrave WK1 A1: The best adjective that describes Minni is caring. She cares about the lack of water accessibility and how it affects people. She is also worried about her mom being sick. Moreover, she is also concerned about what is going to happen to her brother. #xuedchat

@CaseyJohnso24 @LaurenAngelone Casey, I completely agree with you. We need to show our students the importance of citing where they got their information. It is an essential skill that they will need in higher education when they complete research papers. #xuedchat

[David Garcia Carro @DavidGCarro]

@LaurenAngelone A1: The most important rule is that just because you found the information online does not mean that it can be used without citation. We must teach our students that they need to cite the original resource. The same as we cite our references in a research paper. #xuedchat

@GabbieGlossner Gabbie you did an awesome job summarizing the article. Promoting a respectful climate in and outside of the classroom is a goal that educators should strive to reach, even more in the online era where anonymity is easier.

The XXI century is requiring more from teachers. Not only must we teach concepts to our students, but Society is also asking us to address social realities in our classrooms. Lisa Van Leent and Kathy Mills in their article
