[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

In helping students understand how to critically think, how can we use media outlets or programs in the classroom? Wat r the roots? #LTC4541

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

Textbooks can be a great tool for us as long as we remember to utilize different sources so other narratives are mentioned #LTC4541

I learned some biases I had with Fidel Castro and how even the worst men start off with pure intentions #LTC4530

I am also shocked that 11% of presentations in 40 years of CUFA were specific to race. Let's work to talk about it more! @SBShear #LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

I learned that the top 1% of Americans possess 40% of the nations wealth. That's so ridiculous! #LTC4530

(2/2)it's all about how the he/she see themselves. SS teachers demonstrate students how ppl from any background can make a change #LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

(1/2) SS classrooms help foster a students civic identity by encouraging them that they can make a difference; #LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

My biggest take away was that we need to teach from a global perspective and break away from our American-centered views #LTC4530

This article is about how UND had to change their name from the "Fighting Sioux." "Roughriders"= possibility #LTC4530

In order to be a good citizen, I believe that you should be informed on current events, respectful of others, and willing to help#LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

Resources: I would ask my students to find an article about what they thought social justice was, watch Peter's video, and debate #LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

(2/2) ...that hurt others that also limits the scope of our ability to show compassion and love #LTC4530

[Patrick Whalen @PatrickWhalen10]

(1/2) Social studies is a way to learn about different types of cultures that exist & to break down the assumptions/stereotypes #LTC4530
