Reflecting on Contentious and Troubling News
January 6, 2021, will certainly be a day for the history books. For all teachers grappling with how to address the day’s events with students, this Teaching Idea from Facing History and Ourselves is designed to help guide an initial classroom reflection on the insurrection at the United States Capitol on that day. The lesson also includes notes for remote learning. Facing History will continue to publish resources on its Current Events page as the story evolves over the coming weeks. The integration of head, heart, and ethics is always important when students are considering contentious and troubling news.
