Went to the Scenarios USA meeting yesterday. It was very interesting the talks that the presenters gave. Its cool that they are doing lesson involving often times hard questions for these teens in order to have them ponder about and give their own interpretations and thoughts to subjects on identity, gender, power, and so on. Glad that I went!
Hi Stephanie! I also enjoyed Scenarios USA Meeting.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of non-profits collaborating with Public Schools to create curriculum that deals intimately with real issues in students lives, and gives students a voice about those issues. I especially liked the interdisciplinary focus in English, language arts, and social studies... and also the production of art!
I'm excited to see how SAIC can help develop this storytelling project with classroom teachers.
