~Kelly's article took the tone of her being at fault when looking at how she answered her students, like she wasn't doing enough
~Is there such a thing as a safe space? ]]> 2019-11-11 13:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409445372 Ethan, Julia, Kristie, Vanessa https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409446025 Counterstory is a positive aspect to bring into the classroom.

Welcoming counterstory will not solve all the problems in the classroom, but it plants the seeds for challenging power.

Bringing in counterstories allows the students to open up various students’ worldview. 

Counterstory disrupts the dominant cultural ideas of truth. 

Counterstory as considering multiple points of view. 

Welcoming counterstory lets students know that their voice matters and their experiences are accepted.

- Counterstories opens doors for having discussions relating to issues about power and privilege. Yet, counterstories allow marginalized students for their voices to be heard and respected. It validates their own stories, knowledge and experiences are important.

- Including the counterstory should be the default of what is done, so in order to do that we need to start with young children]]> 2019-11-11 13:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409448592 Victoria, Holly and Ariana https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409448608 - encourages the critical analysis of literature 
- the opportunity we have to take to make sure that everyone's voice is heard and everyone's stories are shared 
- activity: have students write about an event or something going on in the world then show them a counter--story of actual event to have them compare their privilege]]> 2019-11-11 13:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409448608 Ashley, Zuha, Rachel https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409448887 - Counterstories provide marginalized students an opportunity to share their reality and their perspective which is not often explored.
- The design and production of counterstories are as essential as reading and analyzing them.

The issues are also different. For example: immigration

-A big component is providing materials to create these discussions, but that are still sensitive. 
Example story for more mature students would be "Once Upon a Time" by Nadine Gordimer

-This was looked at through the lens of race, but counter stories can be used from the lens of any "ism" (examples: ableism, sexism)]]> 2019-11-11 13:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dadwatt/6byzvtxno5d8/wish/409452555
