The Myth of Race

I find that when we can be open and honest in our classrooms we really open a door to other ways of thinking.  Many times kids or even adults are fearful to bring up hot topics for fear of the outcome.  But I like to think that we are here to hear and see how others think and feel.  It is important to bring all aspects of the topic to the table. Using the video on "The Myth of Race: Debunked in 3 Minutes is a great way to bring on great conversation whether it is questions posed or stories that they can share or even ideas on how we could move forward as a human race.  I would like to play the video and stop it throughout and ask some questions.  This may even be a great Edpuzzle for those students wanting to talk about it without actually talking about it.  Using this video with questions would be perfect for those that don't necessarily want to be part of the discussion but would like to learn more about this topic on Race.
