Q5: Talking about mental health in the classroom could bring challenges. How would you bring this topic up in the classroom? What procedures, if any, would you go through to prepare students to talk about such a heavy topic as this? #OfMiceandMentalHealth #408LitHack

[Cameron (Cami) Laesch @CameronLaesch]

Q4: When @abela_jacob was taught Of Mice and Men, it was paired with Flowers for Algernon to give a different perspective on mental disability and mental health. What are other supplemental texts or resources that might be beneficial to teach? #OfMiceandMentalHealth #408LitHack

[Cameron (Cami) Laesch @CameronLaesch]

I just saw @TheHateUGive and thought the scenes between Hailey and Starr were very powerful moments that could be discussed in the classroom. What other scenes do people think would be useful to show in class? #edchat #engchat #educolor #THUG @angiecthomas

I’m looking forward to building a website for my multimodal remix because it is something totally new for me #msuengedte

[Jacob Abela @abela_jacob]

@ElenaEs67323851 Making sure to keep the library stocked with texts relevant to the topic would be important. Would be afraid that you might run out of books in certain situations. I assume you would be in touch with multiple places to keep resources stocked, but that was my thought #SQRLfeedback

I’m a month into my senior year and I’m really excited about finally getting to work with high schoolers this year #msuengedte

[Jacob Abela @abela_jacob]

Learned that there is lead in all sorts of candies available in stores and this isn’t info that companies are forward about. Be careful! #msuengedte

I watched the Lego Podcast and thought it was really interesting how they strive to give kids a stepping stone to get creative. Giving them a Star Wars set where they can use what they know about Han Solo and Chewy in crazy new contexts and situations is awesome #408chat
