Lots of reasons translation is tricky
The means to create perspective lies right between our eyes…distance between our eyes means that there is a difference between the view each produces – thus there is no single “correct” view
While in WB, serendipitous things happened. First exhibition on Palestinian comics, Charlie Hebdo attacks.
Choices Program, Brown University, Teaching with the News.
Awesome curriculum, embraces so many global competencies….surrounding myself with all of these Palestinian comics artists, clear there was a piece of the perspective that was missing. Not that Choice got it wrong, but go a little further, make it more complicated and more grey
First thing I did was change the format of the lesson to a SAC---more performance based, more active, more GC.
But then, I added graphic content to the PS students would use in researching/articulating their side as part of the SAC.
Rarely, if ever use a full text in my classroom. With any PS/SS I use in the classroom, I excerpt it. Same with GN. Also use in conjunction with other sources (as you would with any other source)
