How effective was the use of social Media for Fighting Social Injustice I found this part hard to introduce as I am not an instagrammer, but the students took to it and liked being able to take action in a way that was logical to them because they use insta all the time.

In what ways did the Teacher Journal challenge you? At school, I was dealing with a group of students who were treating me in a racist way. Through my journalling, I was able to explore my reaction to this and ensure that it didn't elicit a racist response from me.

“I really enjoyed this kit and the high quality resources it included. I found that I needed to be quite explicit with the links between the posters and the situations we face in our lives. It was good at adding different perspectives on the students' prior knowledge and thinking. It think the kit served its purpose of challenging racism, even the students would've said they weren't racist before hand.”

“Posters had lots to dig down into. We felt some of it was better for year 10 than year 9. We created our own activities off the posters like timelines and infographics. It would have been good to have some other activities ready to go as examples. Thank you for proving the read me resources as these were difficult to find.”
