How do We connect through stories?
Before You Begin
Setting the stage for Task 4
Review our driving question: How do our individual and collective stories from Chicago and Rochester expose both resiliency and inequalities within our democracy right now? Our journey most recently examined some long-term implications of the inequities that exist in Chicago and Rochester and stories of resiliency that are helping both cities thrive. In addition, we are now joined by members of Ms. Meyer's class from Liberty, Missouri. All three schools will build community and familiarity through a postcard exchange; we then will transition our attention to studying models, investigating topics and proposing an area of individual focus.
Let's Continue to Build Community in our schools!
Introducing Liberty: Based on your mid-project reflection and liking the idea of learning about other places and schools we have a new school joining this project from Liberty, Missouri!
