RE: [ncte-middle] The Current Tragedies

["Sheila Newell" <slnewell@academicplanet.com>]

We also talked a lot today.  Many of my students did not understand the
magnitude of the tragedy or the potential consequences.  We spent some
time journaling--many wrote on and on about their bewilderment and their
fears and their hopes for peace.  In writing, they expressed many things
that they wouldn't or couldn't for the class and I was moved to tears by
many of the entries.  Drawing could a way of expressing thought and
feelings, too.  I wish I had thought of that.
