Brooklyn Social Studies & Art Project
Students in our Brooklyn classroom have started learning about the refugee crisis. This week, students used the Questioning Technique to develop a research question about this topic. They closely observed several photographs from various media sources and asked questions that they had about each image. From these unedited questions, students identified what they had in common.
Following their research, students used their sketchbooks to reflect on what they had read and discussed in their groups. They were asked to draw an image of their home or what they would take with them if they suddenly had to leave their home with their family.
