Two Learning Experiences for High School Students that Address Stereotyping and Community Here we offer two of these learning experiences, appropriate to the times. The first builds off Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's TED Talk, "The Danger of a Single Story." The second begins with students drawing, in silence, their own visions of community. |
Generous Orthodoxy Wenger's story is one of ten episodes from Welcome to Revisionist History, a podcast from Malcolm Gladwell. Although presented largely with adults in mind, Wenger's message will surely ring true for adolescent listeners. |
