How do we teach our junior high students to think critically and be empathetic in a world full of chaos? By studying a variety of texts that make them question what they know about history and their own lives, in hopes that they may feel empowered to do something to make a change. In this session we'll talk about texts you could teach, projects students could complete, and why you might use a Socratic Seminar to have the students discuss their texts, thoughts, and ideas, especially when it comes to controversial topics.
