This teaching method is so engaging for students. This lesson could be about any culture that had an illumination tradition, which, really is a lot of them. Try other ideas! I did "Living the Greek Life" where we lounged on blankets and ate pita and olive oil. www.instagram.com/reel/DQaQwnw...

Here is a good discussion starter for understanding shared oppression and community building. "What other countries suffered under British rule" would be a good short research project, a lesson in compare/contrast, a way to teach about reliable sources. www.instagram.com/reel/DQUs9nl...

🚨The history of “America First” is captured below. We are already seeing this on the streets; we don’t see it for what it is — historical context living in the present. We must have a national spending freeze and waiting for the holidays is a mistake. We are out of time.

But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop
