by Larry Ferlazzo / 12h

I thought that new – and veteran – readers might find it interesting if I began sharing my best posts from the first half of this year. You can see the entire collection of best posts from the past thirteen years here . 200degrees / Pixabay I shared the information in this post earlier this week at my weekly Classroom Instruction Resources Of The Week post .

Micro-Versions of Folktales – Galore!

by Larry Ferlazzo / 12h

I’ve previously written about Laura Gibbs’ great work in “Drabbles” Are Cool Writing Assignments – Here Are A Ton Of Models . One of the assignments she gives to her students is to write microfiction “drabbles” (no more than 100 words) from folktales. At that previous post you can see the actual assignment she gives students. She’s actually begun putting the versions that she writes into eBook fo

by Larry Ferlazzo / 23h

Last week, I posted Implicit Bias Training Doesn’t Seem To Work – So What Should Teachers & Others Do, Instead? It examined the ineffectiveness of implicit bias trainings, and explored some possible alternatives. This TED-Talk just came out “How racial bias works — and how to disrupt it | Jennifer L.

The Importance Of Saying “Enslaved Person” & “Enslaver”

by Larry Ferlazzo / 1d

I, along with many other educators, have used the words “slaves” and “slave-owner” for many years when teaching history. Over the past year, I’ve begun using the words “enslaved person” or “enslaved people,” instead. However, until hearing Nikole Hannah-Jones talk on NPR yesterday I hadn’t though of changing “slave-owner” to “enslaver” – though I should have. I’m adding this post to New & Revised
