Now What?? As an educator, reflect on how Adichie's TED Talk might help our community, our school, and your classroom.It is important to educate yourself and be open to the many different ways that people identify themselves as and to not base judgement on stereotypes or preconceived notions. To allow opportunities for everyone to express themselves in the way they are most comfortable and to be accepting. Embrace all members of our community and create a culture of acceptance. Amplify the voices of groups that have not had an opportunity to be heard and give them a seat at the table. Why do you suppose the video from Part 1 "What Makes History Useable," paired with the TED Talk "The Danger of a Single Story?"Because facts are important when learning about any one thing. Knowing the history of something can give you insight into why things are the way they are now and how things could be in the future.
