A RAISIN IN THE SUN Lorraine Hansbery

A raisin in the sun; play by Lorraine  Hansberry inspiration

Harlem

What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up
      like a raisin in the sun?
      Or fester like a sore—
      And then run?
      Does it stink like rotten meat?
      Or crust and sugar over—
      like a syrupy sweet?

      Maybe it just sags
      like a heavy load.

      Or does it explode?

This was one of my first reads in undergrad for an English module called me a to analyse a reflect on self and society.


  •    What did you do when your dreams were deterred and you had to make a second plan and more?
  •    Who do you rely on to make your dream stay alive and not dry up?
  •    Are you true to your course?
  •    Is your course not infringing on another's?

Stories personal to their contexts and beings;  who they are, who they have been, ought to be, want to be, need to be... Because in all fact, all those categories may be totally different viewed in or/and of isolation. Students should not be fed, simply, but exposed to food for the soul, both from their peers and those who have gone past and the living. Most of all students should make their own food; what best way than through stories. This half term my grade 9's are telling their stories through different media in topics such as: life through movies life through people we have and have not met life through music life through books life through poetry etc...

FUTURE ORIENTED LEARNING

Sharing progressive learning and teaching skills Through teaching languages and through Google educational suite I realised that simply getting a 100% for an assigned task wasn't enough and that the work done by students needs further recognition. It can't just end with my red pen, ticks or mark. What happens to all those documents reflecting on social issues, the poem the songs created, the essays written? How can we teach and learn progressively and empowering students as they grow in our hands: future focused learning? #GlobalEducator #FutureOrientedLeader #AgentOfChange Future oriented learning and teaching trends Mindful behaviour Collaborative Blended Thinking skills Entrepreneurial Teacher development Publishing Reading and Writing Techno integrating Active Learning and teaching Innovative Inquiry based learning
