Educational Reflections (formerly Rumblings from 52)

This blog began in Room 52 at AMG Junior and Senior Public School in 2011. This site has followed me to a few schools since then and now joined the roster of retired blogs in the social media universe. The journey and reflection will continue in different and exciting spaces. Room 52 remains one of the most significant places of teaching and learning for me and grateful to the students and staff who supported me there. Thank you.

Lost Boys of Sudan documentary, second set of images from the Powerful photos exercise

This is a film we will be watching as we prepare for our "Passport" assignment in Geography. The film is called The Lost Boys of Sudan.

Sudan is a country in the continent of Africa.

This assignment and film correspond to our study of how humans respond to their physical environment. Here is an image I showed you in class:

In the documentary you watch, you will see young men from Sudan and in another film, you will meet a Kurdish teen from Iraq and how they grapple with travelling on the planet in search of something better.

Here is the second wave/set of photos selected by the Grade 7s for photos that changed the world.
