SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE is an okay place to be!. .

SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE is an okay place to be!.
.
I used to ask students to only choose between agree/disagree way back when students would stand on different sides of the classroom to show their position on a topic. Now, I invite kids into the somewhere in the middle (with an explanation of course) because seeing things more than one way is such an important skill and reminds us that multiple truths can exist at once.
.
Here are three ways I’ve been using Jamboard to encourage students to take a stance and share their reasoning. Thankfully a lot of my students are still into Jamboard and one even asked why we hadn’t used it in a while. PHEW. Anyone else still so glad their students still engage on Jamboard? 🙋🏻‍♀️

WACKY WAVY INFLATABLE TUBE FRIEND. . The answer to

WACKY WAVY INFLATABLE TUBE FRIEND.
.
The answer to a recent class conversation: What is the strangest thing you own? Yes, I own one of those wavy friends because they just make me laugh! My husband gifted it to me & it made an appearance during our wedding festivities and I’m sure we’ll find another reason (or no reason at all) to bring it out again one day!
.
Random questions are giving me the glimmer of participation I need to keep me going! Some recent ones that have started some good conversation:
▫️What should I binge next? (lots of anime recs)
▫️If you were a school supply, what would you be and why?
▫️Debatable questions (since we’re in argumentative writing): Is it ever ok to lie?
▫️What object would be the most annoying if it played loud music every time you used it?
▫️Just ask your students to come up with some random questions, that’s how this question came up!

What random questions are starting good conversation in your classes?

FRD signed Executive Order 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942.

FRD signed Executive Order 9066 on Feb. 19, 1942. As a result:

▪️My paternal grandfather, temporarily lived in a horse stall at the Santa Anita Race Track and later the segregated Tule Lake Relocation Center (for his “No No” response on the loyalty questionaire)
▪️My maternal grandmother (Granny G) who was attending Hollenbeck MS in Boyle Heights was soon sitting on dirt floor classrooms when first relocating to Manzanar—writing about the “camp” itself as homework assignments.
▪️From behind barbed wires, as my my paternal grandfather would say, was proudly one of the first in line to volunteer to fight for his country. To prove his loyalty.

All US citizens, all with different stories. Today, thinking about the complexity of these experiences that @tracicheeauthor’s We Are Not Free explores and listening to @denshoproject’s podcast Campu to continue learning about the stories of others.

THANK YOU! Thanks to all of you who remind us to u

THANK YOU! Thanks to all of you who remind us to use our personal days, I’m doing it!

Tomorrow, I’m going to eat a relaxing breakfast, get my COVID vaccine (so thankful for this!), wave hello to my granny, and use that @bobaguys gift card @lilshortylee so generously sent me! How do you spend your personal days?
