Module 1, Step 5 - Strategy Application Blog - Class Strategy Blog The text I chose for the class strategy blog exercise was a New York Times Article dates July 9, 2021 (updated November 8, 2021), titled Charlottesville Removes Robert E. Lee Statue at Center of White Nationalist Rally. The link to this article is: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/09/us/charlottesville-confederate-monuments-lee.html The strategy I used for this exercise was in the form of an anticipation guide. I first read the article and identified the major concepts in the reading, which included: The reasons for the placement of the statute in Charlottesville in the 1920s; The issues on both sides about the removal of the statue at this time; and, The Government's role in making and implementing this decision. I then considered my students prior knowledge of this issue. I would predict that some of my students are aware of the disputes over the removal of civil war statues, monuments, and flags....
Hi Louis!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great strategy and activity to implement into your classroom. Not only does it allow students to dig deeper and think more in depth about the bill of rights, but it’s particularly relevant to our current times. I think that using a “what if” strategy for this can create an excellent space for discussion with your students. Great job!
Thanks,
