A student poll in response to Dr. Joel Westheimer's plenary speech:
- In English I am able to Psychoanalyze Macbeth and look at parts of his mind, rather than memorize passages.
- TOK ; encourages critical thinking, and makes you question what you know
- Collective voice (social justice program offered at bowman in grade 9)
- Getting to do a presentation on “positive” Asian stereotypes and the model minority myth as an English final
- In English class when learning about future careers and the paths we can take, our English teacher asked us (in reference to the UN sustainability goals): “when considering what you want to do in the future, do not only focus on a career, instead as what world problem can you help solve?”
- Getting to write a piece on the implementation of a sex ed curriculum that isn't heteronormative and abstinence focused (in English)
- In History, we have to understand the context the event is taking place in and create conclusions from that instead of mindlessly memorizing dates and exactly what happened during that time (ex: WWI: Inquiry Question: What factors allowed WWI to take place? How can we prevent the same factors from recurring?)
- At conferences like this! (Which we were given the opportunity through school)
