Tonight’s class was definitely heavier than normal, but talking about the the civil right movement generally feels that way. I don’t remember learning about the Birmingham church bombing in school so that was a shock to me. I have a hard time hinking about how to go about implementing a lesson in the classroom about the bombing. What grade level would this be appropriate for?
I again liked the technique of using an image to spark interest and questions into the lesson. The more we practice this strategy, the more I see its benefits.
I am excited to try the QFT in a classroom! I imagine students would be quite engaged when they realize how focused and careful they have to be. I think the QFT might be one of my favorite strategies so far.
