Chalk Walk Quote Analysis
Süžeeskeem Kirjeldus
One way students can delve into a discussion on important topics is by looking at inspirational or important quotes from prominent figures related to the topic. A "Silent Chalk Walk" allows students to take turns reading and reflecting on quotes around the classroom. They can add their ideas to a white board or sticky note by the quote. Afterwards, the students can lead a discussion about each quote explaining their thoughts.
In this culminating activity, students will
1) Choose one quote that resonated with them the most
2) Create a storyboard using illustrations and words to explain what they think the quote means and why it is important to them.

- “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” – James Baldwin
- This quote resonates with me because if we are to overcome the stain of racism in our society, we first have to acknowledge that it exists, that it has a long history, and that it is systemic. If you are to solve a problem, you first have to understand it. Understanding and reckoning with the past and present of white supremacy and racial injustice is the only way to move towards a brighter future for all.
