What should conversations about race look and sound like in the
elementary classroom? How do we respond authentically and
truthfully to children's questions about the world? And how can we
build classroom communities that encourage these meaningful
conversations about race? Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr take on
these questions and more in We're Gonna Keep On Talking: How to
Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Elementary Classroom. A
companion work to Kay's Not Light, But Fire, this book focuses on
the unique and powerful role discussions about race can play in the
elementary classroom. Drawing its title inspiration from the lyrics
of the freedom song ""Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around,"" sung
by hundreds of children marching against segregation in what came
to be known as the Children's Crusade of 1963, We're Gonna Keep On
Talking is written for teachers who are willing to match children's
courage and brilliance, and who believe that ""a foundation in
meaningful race discourse will help [children] to seek justice for
themselves and their neighbors, to be kinder, [and] more
thoughtful."" Writing with the humility and honest storytelling of
two career classroom teachers, Matthew Kay and Jennifer Orr share:
Strategies for building safe and supportive classroom and school
spaces for productive discourse Dozens of practical teacher moves
for facilitating race conversations Classroom stories that allow
readers to envision ways into the work through picture books, art,
graphs, historical photographs, and current events Tips for
aligning the work of race conversations to your grade-level
standards Whether you are unsure of where to begin or looking to
deepen your practice, We're Gonna Keep On Talking will be your
guide to the important work of race conversations in the elementary
classroom.
How do you take the passion and chatter that K-5 students bring to
the classroom and turn it into conversation skills that make them
better learners? Academic conversation can help hone speaking and
listening, critical thinking, and social-emotional skills, as well
as deepen content knowledge. But despite its effectiveness, this
kind of purposeful, student-led discussion is rarely taught or used
at the elementary level. The mystery for teachers is how to support
students at various stages of development and build an environment
of trust that lets them cultivate these skills. In Demystifying
Discussion, veteran teacher Jennifer Orr gives elementary school
teachers a primer on teaching students to engage in student-led
academic conversation. The strategies, sample assessments, and
example conversations in this book show you how to help young
learners get better at sharing, exploring, and synthesizing their
individual and collective thinking. You'll also learn how to manage
different perspectives and disagreements among students. This is a
book to use all year long to improve classroom discussion, hone
students' skills (and your own), and enhance students' overall
learning throughout their time in school and beyond.
Literary Networks and Dissenting Irish Print Culture examines the
origins of Irish labouring-class poetry produced in the liminal
space of revolutionary Ulster (1790-1815), where religious dissent
fostered a unique and distinctive cultural identity.
