If you are teaching with his novel The Grapes of Wrath, bring it into the present by combining it with documentary film Greener Pastures, which explores the lives of four contemporary Midwestern farming families. It's a great insight into how much has changed and how much hasn't.

Dear #edutooters,

I'm at the age where I'm not seen as a peer to a younger audience anymore. I now face a new #challenge when building natural rapport. Instead of "being their pal," I build respect to achieve #trust and a #safespace.

One aspect I've been #contemplating is the "daring" among learners. I see it as a behavioural #spectrum. It promotes natural mischievousness that can obstruct a #process while it's also a key to expression and internalisation. #How do You #approach it?
