Lisa Delpit! Understanding the codes and powers is huge! I do not think I realized how different the codes and powers are with different students. Will definitely not forget Delpit and her ideas on how teachers are the ones who can fix the culture in schools and educate themselves about the needs of others.
Richard Rodriguez: Teaching Bilinguals and Aria stuck with me because it is something I want to avoid. Not taking into account that students may be bilingual or only know one language. I never want students to feel they need to eliminate their first language to succeed. I want to do better and learn their language as well, the students should not be the only ones that have to make sacrifices.
Card game: The card game we played that showed the codes of power! The idea is that the people who are more intimidating and “powerful” are the ones who make the rules and essentially win. Even if we are totally blind by this idea or know what is exactly going on and are just too afraid to stand up. I thought that was the most fun activity we have done mentally and physically on our brains.
