Learning Never Stops

Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that's easy. What's hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.  -Charles Mingus We had great fun doing this! I asked the students to think of ways they could convey the meaning of each attitude using their hands only . We are still thinking of how to show a few (empathy, commitment, etc.) but here are a few of them. Take a guess! This one is too literal...So we need to come up with something else!   Source: https://niice.co/search/%20hands

My students have been closely monitoring the Israel-Palestine conflict. They decided to use their knowledge of social media and Yang Liu's style of communication to propagate the idea of peace based on similarities between Jews and Muslims. Here's what they came up with. (Notice how they use colour to distinguish the two religions). Jews and Muslims pray in the same manner. They both believe in angels. This one could be a little hard to guess. But that's the whole point. Keeps you thinking! (Answer: Men and women are required to pray separately.) In both cultures, they avoid eating pig. :) Reminds me of Minchin's song: Women are required to wear veils in the prayer hall.
