It also makes me think of the artifacts of embarrassment/rejection of my own family's values. For example, (I write about this in one of my pieces for this class) about these knives my dad passed down to my from ancestors that fought in a war-- the knives are from the Philippines-- I reject/am embarrassed of these objects in my lineage as they are not allowed to be a part of my identity (although I begrudgingly acknowledge it is a part of history), and go against the idea of nationalism, etc... Wed, 10 Aug 2022 12:26:17 -0400 This is a really detailed lesson and reflective inquiry. I wish I had experienced this in my primary and secondary education. Perhaps, it could have helped me be more reflective and aware of my identity, trauma, and empathy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2857378 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2857378 Tue, 09 Aug 2022 14:08:24 -0400 This is a really detailed inquiry and lesson.

The crux being inclusion versus influencing. This reading is so interesting because I see a huge connection between SEL and this idea of cosmopolitanism using artifacts. As we "globalize" it does not mean we empathize, try to gain understanding of the unfamiliar by listening to experience, stores. Many times, perhaps because of the focus on the curriculum and content, students aren't being taught to engage difference and keep on values and beliefs on "hold" or open for a new perspective. We see this in the banning of books, controversy about CRT and other critical lenses. Tue, 09 Aug 2022 11:29:11 -0400 Identity work is an explicit goal of the curriculum. I teach based on SEL. I really like how objects are being used through an anthropological lens. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2850387 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2850387 Something that I am really interested in, especially for my practical application, is how to get SEL components and artifactual/historical literacies into Math.
