I was having a look at my Teaching Practicum folder. Last class we worked with "Dreams" after listening to Martín Luther Jr's speech. I asked the students to write about their Dreams. Then, We helped them to write them in english... But... I read this, and suddenly realised that what was important at that point was to hug the student and keep the dream for me.
Sometimes we do not realise that a classroom is the only safe place students may encounter in their daily life...
So hard! It made me cry! We sometimes don't realize what our students are dealing with...
ReplyDeleteVery moving! Thanks for sharing. I love that you are using Martin Luther King to encourage students to dream! Inspiring <3
