We recently did a fairness simulation in class. It was a edited hunger banquet with supplies as opposed to food. It was a discussion during the simulation with the students with the smallest age group singled out. It brought up a lot of emotions and feelings about the topic of fairness and prejudice. Students supported each other working out how this may or may not reflect society and how it may or may not affect the outcomes of adult education and life skills.
We've had several good conversations about it. It will fit into our work this next semester on bullying, fairness, and prejudging people before you know them.
Students will be reading Lord of the Flies, will be watching movies about bullying, and will be having lots of discussions. We will watch Karate Kid, excerpts from Lord of the Flies the movie, clips of TV shows, and more. If you you would not like your student to be watching movies about bullying and prejudice please let me know.
If you have a spare copy of Lord of the Flies please please write y'alls name and phone number in the front and send it with your student to class.
Thank you, and I look forward to this next semester!
Nina's Advising Blog: This page is dedicated to this group of students who allows me to share their space and facilitate silliness are the most honest, caring, exciting, individualistic people I've met. I have the honor of watching how dedicated they are to each other and how they are willing to grow.
