This 83 year old woman holds a sign that says “Defend black voices” as the marchers walk by and cheer for her. “I’m so proud of you young people,” she says.
I was really worried about this. 😔 With great sadness, I have now confirmed that several of my relatives (including Viola and Yara pictured here) were killed at Saint Porphyrius Orthodox Church in Gaza, where they had been sheltering, when part of the complex was destroyed as the result of an Israeli airstrike. Give rest, O Lord, to their souls, and may their memories be eternal.
The Palestinian Christian community has endured so much. Our family is hurting badly. May God watch over all Christians in Gaza—and all Israelis and Palestinians who are suffering, whatever their religion or creed.
@smerconish this grading concept is not new, just a rebranding. We’ve been grading assessments at 80% and daily/homework at 20% for the last 10 years or more. Did the students learn the standard or not?
@susangbarber Notice it journals. Have them keep a sticky note where they can notice funny or odd things and then give them very brief times to explain it or turn it into a scene or explain what they wish would have happened or what happened next in their imagination. Do not make it serious!
