English 9: Empathy & Advocacy Stations

Thursday and Friday we experienced a series of stations designed to help us empathize to those with struggles and to learn how to advocate for ourselves and others -- how to bring help and ask for help.

This is a continuation of the work we did with Lawrence Hill's "What Are You, Anyway?" the work with growth and fixed mindset, multiple intelligences, and "Who Am I (Right Now)?"

BTW. Next week we have a Roots 2 Quiz on Wednesday and Thursday.  Heads up.  It's over BOTH ROOTS 1 & 2.

Here are the stations and some pics from each.

GO & GET.

BUILD A LEGO SET.

ORGANIZE THE INSPIRATION SHELVES

And one class was able to play JUST KEEP TALKING

We debriefed about what we discovered about our challenges, our successes, advocating for others and ourselves.   All of this is heading toward our first big design challenge next week around need finding, understanding ourselves and more . . .
