This could be a good time to talk about media literacy--you could talk about how to evaluate sources and recognizing fallacies, and even show some examples and evaluate what makes them good or bad. (Potentially without even calling out specific news sources, but just by pulling quotes or examples.) It doesn't necessarily have to be political, but you can show why "Facebook news" can be unreliable and that there are better sources.

I second the voting information. Even middle schoolers can be engaged in this topic. I'm working on my own "intro" item for fall, and voting and student rights seem to consistently pop up in this new COVID-19 environment.

Monday Morning rumination: unsolicited advise is criticism.

Much to reflect on with this topic. Last week I was told in a 1:1 with a new contact that I was “too direct”. After some time chewing on the conversation I was struggling to place the emotions I was feeling. Turns out I was feeling guilty and shame for being me, for taking up space. Lesson of the week: unsolicited advice is a criticism of you, a micro aggression of who you are, and being “too much”. What would you do??

Do you work the holidays into your lesson plans this time of year? Or is it too much of a distraction from your routine? Teaching a SPED music class this year and the students have finally *mostly* become comfortable in the room and with the instruments + noise. We usually work on the same songs each week for one month, but I'm thinking of switching it up and doing Christmas/Holiday songs next week as a send off into break. I work with mostly autistic students.
