Rage Is Not A 1-Day Thing! A Follow-Up Workshop to the Special Performance
Facilitator(s): Awele Makeba

Workshop   +   Classroom Practice: curriculum & instruction   +   High School
Debunk the myth of Rosa Parks in our textbooks and allow your students to enter the lives and world of JoAnn Robinson, Mary Louise Smith, and Claudette Colvin, who acted with Rosa Parks and their community in a social movement to overthrow injustice--the Montgomery Bus Boycott. To see these teens and women "clearly" is to be strengthened in the possibilities for our own humanity. In this workshop, participants will discuss the myth of Rosa Parks, explore the essential questions that guided the storyteller's research, and learn strategies to create a sense of time and place so that our students can enter "...into a world of drama--suspending their knowledge of the ending in order to gain a sense of another era--a sense of empathy that allows the student to see through the eyes of the people who were there." Attendance at Awele Makeba's performance Friday evening is a prerequisite.
Date/Time: Saturday, 8:00am - 10:00am   Room: CC 608   Session #329
