BEING WHO WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BECOME

The title of the article: Anger Has Its Place .Note: In addition to this piece being important to the discussion because it introduces another unexamined aspect of the event, it demonstrates the significance of presenting students with as many points of view about an event as possible. Doing this in our current media atmosphere is not easy. Mainstream media does not offer much variety in that regard. Fox News and MSNBC often offer opposing views and those are well worth studying, however, beyond what is in the mainstream there are many other sources. In my next post, I am going to put up portraits of those that have been painted thus far and resources you can use in your classroom to give students the opportunity to gather information in new ways.On to the article…. I feel like this article adds another dimension and incredbily important missing aspect to the discussion than the other pieces I have posted. What is the role of anger in the case of injustice and what does this look like in student’s lives? If you work with students who are not in a position to understand this type of anger, it is perhaps even more important that they consider this.  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/01/opinion/01herbert.html .
