Finally, encourage students to consider what they would do if they were a leader of a country. At what points in the story would you have made a different decision? Why? What can you do to advocate for change and work in solidarity with people who are hurting in our world?

Secondly, offer opportunities for reflection on values. What do you believe is right and wrong? What do your classroom and school values say? Why? What do you think the United States believes is right and wrong?

[Lora McManus-Graham @mcmanus_lora]

The final day! Just like when we were in-person, this was the hardest day for me to get my eyes open in the AM, but as soon as I got on hubilo and got my 🍵 going, I was wide awake and excited! @NAISnetwork
