The issue of social justice in todays classroom is a big issue to handle. By making activities open and free it allows students to have an atmosphere that allows them to see what stereotypes are and how we can recognize them, so we can prevent ourselves from believe them. Todays classrooms are becoming more and more diverse and it is up to the teacher to teach everyone one in his or her class the importance of equality and embracing differences good and bad. If a teacher is successful in doing this they can change the world for many students who have been discriminated and brought down because of their differences.
In witnessing their teach, I have encountered many new ways of handling social justice issues in the classroom and I hope to practice these activities in my future classroom. it seems like they tackled a lot of issues that are present for students in society and it is an important aspect of teaching that is often overlooked.

Glad to see the updates in your blog Matt. I agree with your assessments on the ideas presented to us from group 3. As I've suggested on a few other blogs, often these issues have a way of presenting themselves to us--it's how we think ahead to how we will engage our students in a meaningful way regarding these issues that truly matters.
Good blogging :)
