I presented at the #AATSP17 conference in Chicago this week on:
"Discussing sensitive current issues in the Spanish classroom:
A Humane Education approach"
I've gathered some resources for inspiring empathy in civic dialogue when talking about political change and about immigration policy. Here are links to some activities and materials I have used in the Spanish language classroom to spark conversation and reflection.
