Blog post 9 from Hannah

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?
