Yes you can talk to 8year olds about race in class. Bye

[Anoa @werdbender]

@PresidentPat Exactly, I’m trying to figure out what changed from when they took them away last year and now. Am I confused or didn’t things get worse?

@KingGen3ticz We miss you too!

How can we teach students to look at a comedian, politician or pastor and analyze the speaking strategies they are using to better their own speaking skills?

[Anoa @werdbender]

@BLoveSoulPower How do we teach students to make analyses like this? How can we get them to learn a skill like this in ELA? I feel like these are the types of epiphanies I want students to have as we do analysis. Oh the conversations.

[Anoa @werdbender]

If schools are constantly enforcing policies on their students that support privilege then we become another institute of oppression.

Covid as Historical Fiction #2

[Anoa @werdbender]

Covid as historical:
When the teacher first checked in
on the laptop the school sent home
It was grandma she called first
But son that’s why you need to know this story. When they sent me and my friends back to school and the disease went around again
it took grandma first.

[Anoa @werdbender]

@halseanderson Yes indeed. As an ELA teacher I have decided this year to teach students how to analyze texts and the world around them with a social justice lens. I feel that if we don’t do this we are going to continue petpetuating the oppression that began this country.

It is unethical to expect teachers to return to in-person classrooms in the fall when their level of exposure to the virus will be exponentially increased. You only gamble with the lives of people you have no value for
