1. In chapter 5 of “Curriculum of
Imagination”, Paulo and Maxine discuss the “oversimplification” of other
people, and how defining people leads to violence. Maxine suggests literature as a tool to help
create empathy and imagine ourselves in another’s situation. What are some additional ways to encourage
this empathy in our classrooms? Can you find/share any resources for art teachers?
2. In “Curriculum of Imagination”, it talks
about how white is the norm, and only “others” are raced. Lake says, “True multiculturalism not only
sees color, it celebrates the rich variety of experience and culture across the
entire family of man.” What experience
did you have with multiculturalism in school?
How can we engage our students in multicultural education without being
“colorblind”?
3. In “Engaging a Developmentally Disabled
Community Through Arts-Based Service-Learning” Amanda Alexander outlines the
arts-based service learning standards.
In what ways does our project with the House of Hope align with these
standards?
