Sometimes it's because of the pressure we often feel in covering curriculum. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847521 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847521 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:56:21 -0400 I love this point! Being curious about the other is a skill. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847520 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847520 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:53:14 -0400 I totally agree with you. It's a great way to encourage students cultivate the art of listening to the other and be open to the other's culture and background. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847519 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:52:35 -0400 I love your point! It also encourages discussion and dialogue among students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847518 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847518 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:50:48 -0400 This story is interesting because it reminds me that in a cosmopolitan society, we as individuals get to rethink what makes us unique as individuals. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847517 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847517 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:44:36 -0400 I love this concept. Teachers, sharing their artifact to students, helps them reveal who they are and open a window to visuality the person behind the teacher's identity. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847516 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847516 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:38:16 -0400 Artifacts can definitely tell us about the world we are unaware of. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847501 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847501 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:14:46 -0400 In my school we have Social Emotional Learning (SEL), I am thinking, this activity can serve as a way to create community in middle school classes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847486 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847486 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:08:46 -0400 I have a diverse group of students, having them share an artifact can help me as a teacher and my students learn something new about their culture and traditions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847485 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847485 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 20:00:06 -0400 I do believe artifacts can serve a way to exchange culture and understand the other within the context of voices coming from those cultures. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847484 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847484 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 19:54:42 -0400 Looking at objects and thinking about their past reminds me of the original old books I have seen in libraries and museums written by writers of their time. It's now I am realizing that objects from home carry a history and a story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847483 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847483 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 19:52:24 -0400 I love the idea of identifying objects that represent our identity and what we hold deer to us. Sometimes, we through through life and do not take a moment to look around us and think about the objects that represent our past or beliefs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847482 https://nowcomment.com/documents/319504?scroll_to=2847482 Sun, 10 Jul 2022 23:09:22 -0400
