I chose to watch The Danger of a Single Story by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This resonated with me for a number of reasons. First, it made me consider how many single stories I am experiencing in my own life and that might be portrayed in my classroom. The word that stood out to me the most was authenticity. My thinking has been stretched, and I have begun considering is the experience in my classroom authentic for all students? Are all students represented equally through the elimination of single stories? A quote that really stood out was "Single stories rob people of dignity." Lastly, being a visual learner I really enjoyed the pictures representing what equality looks like.
