TITLE
What Story Does this Graph Tell?

PRESENTER
Connie Rivera

ABSTRACT
This webinar is for math, science, social studies, or ESOL teachers. The slow reveal graphs instructional strategy takes the focus off getting the “right” answer and allows students from a variety of backgrounds to work together to share their curiosity and interpret graphs. The examples will introduce a social justice topic–Disproportionate Incarceration–and will allow your students to share their own visuals about a meaningful social justice topic using the unit plan provided.
