@ELA_STEM_TEACHr Yes, I’m trying to find research to help them understand what they’re seeing the play, and also examine contemporary parallels.

Looking for help from the Twitterverse. Planning a unit for The Crucible, and I want my students to explore the relationship between fear and moral decision making. Looking for research & readings in this area to incorporate. Any recommendations?

@ajitgeorgeSB I remember during the summer of 2020 you posted about a profoundly good thing that was coming in a year or two. This was it, wasn’t it! Congrats on such an amazing accomplishment!

It's a profound honor to have conceived, co-led, written for, and now hold this incredible book, Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel, in my hands!
This book was a labor of love for all of us and one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

A good thread from a teacher, on losing the battle for students' attention
Tyler Rablin@Mr_Rablin
I use to be on the team that's like, "Let kids bring phones into the classroom! We'll use them for learning!" The problem, and the reason I've changed my stance, is simply that the attention economy makes this nearly impossible. It's a losing battle for kids & their brain. 1/

Reading Don't Label Me by @IrshadManji and came across a good reminder.
"Keep in mind that 'listening to' doesn't have to mean 'agreeing with.'"
English
"We must be able to argue both sides of an issue...to understand, to the best of our ability, the thinking and rationale of those who oppose us. This kind of cognitive empathy can inform us on how to address these people and help us clarify our own position."
Erec Smith Likes Rhetoric@Rhetors_of_York
People often ask me why I do rhetoric? Here's the 1st of a 2-part answer. It's not exhaustive; a 2,000 word essay won't allow that. But one can get a good idea of the concept's efficacy. The 2nd essay will focus on rhetoric's present-day importance. discoursemagazine.com/culture-and-so…

The hallmark of an open mind is not letting your ideas become your identity.
If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.
If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.
