This setting can be one you've experienced/taught in before, one of the case studies described in the readings, or a purely hypothetical classroom. Include a specific improv activity AND how it would impact the students' world outside that activity. How could you use improv to engage your students in conversations about race/class/gender/advocacy work? Keeping in mind our own identities as educators, how can improv help us hear and be in conversation with our students?

When you are done with your post, click the dots in the upper-right corner to change its color according to your group's practice of focus.
Red: Learning to authentically listen to students
Yellow: Learning to follow students’ lead in their learning
Green: Learning to facilitate students’ building on each other’s
ideas
Blue: Learning to craft critical questions that build on students’
responses and move their analysis toward a deeper consideration
of power and historical, social, political, and economic
processes]]> 2021-04-14 18:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1417893594 annabelrsengstock https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1417963237 In this scenario, assume we are teachers at a school that does not center the work of authors of color, and instead focuses mostly on books in the traditional literary canon.

In order to facilitate students' building on each other's ideas, we would use the "yes, and" activity where students have to explicitly use the phrase to "gift" the others in their group. We would combine this with a conversation about how we can make our school more equitable, like this:

Student 1: "I think that we should start a petition that asks the English Department to introduce antiracist literature into their syllabi."
Student 2: "Yes, AND we should start a book club where we read anti-racist literature."
Student 3: "Yes, AND..."

This activity helps students learn to build on each other's ideas while also opening up a dialogue about what change they would like to see in their school community, and how they can go about effecting that change.]]> 2021-04-14 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1417963237 https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1418775986 This is modification of the ranting and raving activity. Specifically students should spending time giving a monologue on the topic, "how have you come into being yourself?"

Following up on those words later. ]]> 2021-04-14 23:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1418780433 https://padlet.com/annabelrsengstock/n1o2q8eo1vtvo4gz/wish/1418780881 "Yes And"
