I’m so sorry to hear this. Am so grateful you are doing this work to strengthen our civil discourse—the bedrock of participatory democracy.

Hi, Karen! Thanks for coming! :) In an ELA class, I'm an advocate of anchoring each unit in 1-2 novels, so informational readings are generally used to build knowledge around the novel's themes, if that makes sense. This way, the readings connect to the broader convo kids are having.

So important! And we need to teach it in primary/early secondary, not just right before students graduate.

It’s such an important topic for educators to know. (And it’s fun to run PD on! Always cool when adults have an ‘a-ha’ moment!)
