Q1 (brothers)
Should classroom teachers have the freedom to change, adapt, and take advantage of unique opportunities for learning as they evolve within the adopted curriculum? If “good teaching” is more than just delivering the curriculum as it is written, how might a teacher add value or increase accessibility to these parts of the lesson:
- the introduction
- teacher directed (I do)
- teacher guided (we do)
- independent practice (you do)
- closing
Consider prior knowledge, supplemental materials (digital or hard copy), Universal Design for Learning, etc. It may be helpful to work through an actual lesson plan as you answer this.

Natadecha-Sponsel talks about, in “Individualism as an American Cultural Value,” the role of communalism (e.g. focus on the group/community) as opposed to individualism.

Q6 (Cheryl)
Black Panther is about a futuristic society that avoided the calamities of European colonialism and thus, through control of their own resources and technological innovation, its people were able to thrive and far exceed the progress of other global societies.
While this is fictional (a brand of storytelling called Afrofuturism), it reflects a way of considering the role of contingency in the past (e.g. how could things have been different).
Embracing this approach (but with a more historically-based approach), how might things have been different in Haiti if foreign countries had not insisted on intervening on a near-constant basis. You can use traditional narrative or tell a fictional story about the place that would exist.
