A5.1: I remember during my MA days, I was introduced to Jamila Lyiscott's Ted Talk - www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9fm... (I still bring this up with my MA students AND teacher colleagues at the high school level because not everyone has seen it!!) #literacies

A5: As AsAm teacher, teach students out of their ignorance at times by teaching connection of Black language and its connection to history and culture (much of the language that kids use these days come from Black culture) and to expose students to the diversity of what Black language is#literacies

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

OMG YES. it should be infused throughout the year!! NOT JUST FEB, THE SHORTEST MONTH OF THE YEAR TOO!!! 🙄🙄🙄 #literacies

A4.2: Teachers themselves need to do the work and FIND a variety of texts that feature Black writers so we are not always going to the few Black authors because there are a LOT - so challenges like that or to even incorporate more Black texts that are joyful/ genius counternarratives #literacies

032

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

A4: At my current school there are not a lot of Black students and sometimes in my classrooms, zero. I think there is a lot of anti-Black sentiments and stereotypes I need to first unpack with my students - but this is always me trying to counter their misconceptions #literacies

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

A3 (2/2): Even really thinking about even within the classroom spaces and culture - are we featuring Black people in the classroom, quotes from them that we like to hang around the classroom, etc.? #literacies

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

A3 (1/2): In ELA, CENTER BLACK VOICES, WRITING, DIGITAL MEDIA, ART!! I just finished an Aforfuturistic summative assessment, so I played a lot of Iniko MVs as students entered class, reading authors (so Audre Lorde's essay, Baldwin's writings) interview clips, etc.

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

I love interrogating silences - have to call attention to The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action essay by Audre Lorde i use with my 9th graders :))) #literacies

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

A2: My initial reaction is to teach and honor the ways student speak and communicate in the classroom through means of translanguaging and code-switching (students already do this without realizing it at times!) and discuss waht context to speak what language and that all are valuable #literacies

021

Dr. Diana Liu @dianaliuedu.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

A1: Black language is so diverse and a rich, rule-governed linguistic system with deep historical, cultural, and social significance. Black language cultural and academic communication; experience when I was teaching middle school ELA in NY (orig from CA) (predom. Black/Brown Sts) #literacies

A6: My work in the Digital Democratic Dialogue Project has really pushed me on this question. Youth are communicating their histories & perspectives & desires w their peers and yet still grasping at what a world of autonomy & liberation & justice could be - because it has never been yet #literacies

A5: I often am turning back to historical texts these days (remembering the past in order to better contextualize our present times) - an oldie, but goodie - A Different Mirror - A History of Multicultural America by Ronald Takaki

It’s hard for kids to tell sometimes what images are real or fake and how it can impact their mental health and yes, AI with racial representation…? Problematic.
