@mikellazzo Don’t make football sound more complicated than it is. The center needs to get the ball to the QB? That’s the biggest challenge you could think of?
When reading Refugee I found this helpful website for understanding Syria’s civil war. Some pics and interviews are from children Mahmoud’s age and in his situation. https://t.co/eMo4AUuqtp #rcsreads
@MrsMainero#rcsreads Q6: I love that this book made our feelings seem like a shared human experience-not gay or straight. At the same time, however, it showed us that even though we feel love the same, the way others respond is different. This made the inequity feel silly. Ignorant.
@MrsMainero A5: It would be interesting to put quotes from Simon’s charac and other novel’s characs who aren’t the “dominate culture” out for kids to examine (w/o context). Kids could evaluate the characters based on quotes. The big picture would be that we have so much in common. #rcsreads
@MrsMainero A2: I thought something that Jay Marks said today touched on this. He mentioned (not in these words) that if we show kids love it shows acceptance. We may not know their individual plights, but they can know we love and support them #rcsreads
@MrsMainero I liked the voice of the emails juxtaposed next to his school voice and inner voice. I thought it showed that flirtation is something high schoolers with a crush have in common. It is awkward and felt like you were spying on something personal. #rcsreads
