Criticality with But, Not Buddy by Nicole Casey https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod Answer the following questions for analysis and reflection. en-us 2021-10-18 13:24:00 UTC 2021-10-18 16:45:46 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824642374 I feel this lesson allows the students to understand the character more and maybe connect with that character.

It builds a deeper, and maybe different knowledge of this in that Bud's tone in dire situations may be different than how some of our students may respond, and looking at that through a critical lens of WHY Bud does that. frances_hauck https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824647046 2021-10-18 16:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824647046 I think the focus on figurative language teaches new ways to communicate and allows students to understand the way others communicate alison_magno https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824647094 2021-10-18 16:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824647094 Skills to Live By https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824647259 I feel this shows students a strategy they can use when faced with obstacles that might lead to frustration... a tool to self-monitor and prevent altercation.

The lesson does not seem to allow for any discussion of power dynamics in this setting. This seems like a missed opportunity, as most kids will relate deeply with this character, and his utter lack of power. Before this lesson- discussion about abuse of power by Mrs.? Todd's parents would be impactful. Perhaps a focused search for words related to the power dynamics between adults and children would keep focus on diction, while opening discussion to the conflicts around power.]]> 2021-10-18 16:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824655573 The curriculum provides new ways for students to express themselves and enhance their writing through the use of tone and figurative language alison_magno https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824655927 2021-10-18 16:22:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824655927 https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824656101 One of the phrases I love to discuss in this book is "here we go again" my students have great insight into the characters mind set as a child during this time.

It raises questions around who creates the rules and why? Who benefits from these rules and how? gabriel_buzinski https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824657986 2021-10-18 16:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824657986 The text focuses on a variety of identity aspects, from economical status to trust of authority. The parents and child represented in the story are similar to many students in DPS, which leads to students being able to more closely relate with the characters and content. Furthermore it can help teach students how to communicate more effectively with their peers and adults. https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824659814 2021-10-18 16:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824659814 Skills https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824661128 This allows students the opportunity to analyze figurative language; although, I am not fond of the exemplar for this as I feel it promotes the idea of being resilient. I may not be as familiar with the text--perhaps Bud uses humor throughout to deal with what he faces. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824661128 This text emphasizes identifying and analyzing figurative language.

Often what they most need to develop is not their personal reaction but interaction with the many ideas of others. Most courses prepare them for the personal reaction to text and not to restraining one's personal reaction in service of participation in a greater conversation. https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824663369 2021-10-18 16:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824663369 The strengths of the lesson are that students are learning new phrases for describing characters. However, the lesson implies that there is only one correct answer-humor. I feel that if the students can identify the word choice and tone which may show a different emotion, such as fear, their ideas should be validated alison_magno https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824665326 2021-10-18 16:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824665326 The text allows students to imagine quite a bit as it is more nuanced and subtle than other texts I've used in class. This subtleness in the text gives students an opportunity exercise their own critical thinking, draw inferences, and use textual evidence to support their interpretations. The text provides students with autonomy of thought. https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824667131 2021-10-18 16:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824667131 Criticality https://padlet.com/nicole_casey1/i4e4gq31418wvbod/wish/1824668170 This goes back to the idea of resiliency and how we as a society  use this in a toxic way.

I like the idea of students writing some of their own "rules" for their lives-Recording or creating these - 
The idea that some rules are not just/ as the rules in Bud's current environment, could be quite radical.
