Today, our 7th grade language arts class hosted three real live “Atticus” lawyers who work or have worked in the criminal justice system around the country. We used Zoom to have a panel discussion about the discrimination present in today’s world, the glimmers of hope or “baby steps” (as Miss Maudie would say) of progress, and the ways culture, institutions, and individuals interact to create just or unjust outcomes. Big thanks to our panelists with big hearts 👩🏻💻👩🏼💻👨🏻💻(@alrollins000 / Dennis, @hillsmissme, Allison) for helping us better understand our world and our reading of #tokillamockingbird ❤️ #seventhgrade #languagearts #integraleducation #remotelearning #remoteodyssey #onlineodyssey #lawyersofinstagram #socialjustice while #socialdistancing
