Today's Prompt: "Should Teachers Be Armed?"
Please read the article "Should Teachers Be Armed?" This is a PDF file of a blog post originally published at the Future of Working blog: www.futureofworking.com.
- When you have finished reading the article, please write two paragraphs in your Classroom Notebook: one paragraph summarizing why teachers should be armed, and one paragraph summarizing why they shouldn't be. You can use some of the points made in the blog, or make your own arguments using your own research. Each paragraph should be an attempt at a fair-minded presentation of that point of view.
- Choose one of your paragraphs--it could be one you agree with, or the one you disagree with, you decide--and post it in the "Add a Comment" section of the Google Classroom posting of this activity. I will read a few of them randomly, and the class will have to guess whether this is the view you agree with or disagree with. Your goal is to get people to guess wrong.
