16. XU BIN/ Words of Art by Buzz Spector

“Specificly responding to Heidi Codys “American Alphabet” I took 3 times 17 beads to write a letter on each of them, together they said I want social change, while pulling the beads on threat I repeated the sentence like a mantra over and over again. I felt the power of the message, it raised my awareness for the content by creating a sentence word by word.”

- 37. Miracle on 79 th Street / Using Community as Curriculum

by Delaney Gersten Susie

“ Delaney wondered:” How can I genuinely teach my students when I don´t understand where they come from?” I think the symbol of a kaleidoskop demonstrates how I see the ideal collabortation and the process of getting to know my students- you have to keep one eye open, to have a overview on the group and the classroom but the other eye needs to focus deeper on the identy of our students, the individual. And the result is, that culture has different faces, or better colors. It is always a flowing process, same as the turning patterns of a kaleidoskop.”

- 23. Harrell Fletcher/ Shaping a New Social by Juan Carlos Castro

“ I created a pocket mirror, the front shows a smile of a happy senior, the back side confronts the viewer with a twisted and wrinkled version of his/her face. It is supposed to be a reminder that we all grow older until we become seniors some day. A sign for inclusion for all ages in our communities”

This lesson is designed to have the students think about how we are “fashioned” from out community. They will make their own templates and then go out and design their wardrobe based on the places that are important to them and their community.

Here is my exemplar for my Super Collaborator Project! Each student would think about the thing that makes them great at working with peers and then design their superhero costume to match. We will talk about how the Avengers only work so well as a team because they are each contributing their unique strengths. We then will talk about how our super strengths can work best together int he future.
