Reading/articles for class activities and discussions for group 1:
I have found several articles that, to be honest, I have only skimmed. I will be reading them in more depth soon, but for now, here are some links to things that I have found. I am not sure if some lean to liberal in perspective and if I need to look into finding more unbiased pieces.
We will probably need about 3 -4 articles to read about and gain perspective on the topic of Syrian refugees and Islamophobia.

Monday: I think it would be great to open with the relatable details in the CNN article.
ReplyDeleteTuesday: I think having the students search through JR's website(www.jr-art.net/) and pick either the NY times or National Geographic article for inspiration of what kind of mural could be created to represent the stories shared.
Wednesday: I believe using the Time article on Wednesday would work very well, because then we can talk about how having these stereotypes added would alter our developed matrix.
Thursday: I think the washingtonpost article would pair well with the iceberg theory.
These are all amazing articles!
