You Won’t Find A Better Lesson Plan For Teaching About The Border Wall Than The One From NY Times Learning Network

Boy, if a teacher was going to teach about the border wall, this would be the time to do it.

I have a lot of teaching resources at The Best Sites To Learn About Walls That Separate Us, but I don’t think there’s any better lesson there or anywhere than the new just posted at The New York Times Learning Network.

There’s a lot there, and I’m not sure if most teachers would want to do everything in it, but it would certainly be easy to pick-and-choose.

Check out at Deconstructing the Wall: Teaching About the Symbolism, Politics and Reality of the U.S.-Mexico Border.

And, while I’m at it, here are two other new and related resources:

The New York Times just published this interactive: The Border Wall: What Has Trump Built So Far?

And then there’s this tweet:

.@Malala on the border wall: "This does not reflect America. This does not reflect the values of America. I hope that the president and also other political leaders in the US, they reflect what American people believe which is welcoming and which is supporting refugees."
