<p>I created this collection for BLM Week 2021. My hope is that students can see the fight for justice and equality continues by viewing these portraits, photos, and images.  Teachers can use several thinking routines to engage with these objects. A fairly new project that has wonderful routines for these objects is<a href="http://www.pz.harvard.edu/projects/arts-as-civic-commons"> Art as Civic Commons</a>. (Click on their resources tab)</p>

<p>Places can be important to families for many reasons. In this collection students will explore both locations that are important to others as well as places that their family holds dear. As we look at the locations we will use the See, Wonder, Compare thinking routine to help us compare these locations to our own important places.Then we will also consider airline posters and postcards. To help us consider the perspective of the posters we will use Harvard's Project Zero Thinking Routine <a href="http://www.pz.harvard.edu/resources/think-feel-care">Think, Feel, Care</a>. To encapsulate our thinking around the idea of important locations to our families each student will make a poster or postcard sharing an important location to their family.</p>
