Global Nomads Group - Collaborating Classrooms Educator Guide 2019-2020

COLLABORATING CLASSROOMS EDUCATOR GUIDE 2019-2020

© A GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP CAMPFIRE PROGRAM

Today there are more than two billion young people in our world. Each one of them is inherently powerful and capable of incredible humanity. They are teaching us. They inspire us.

They are truly leading the way.

Young people have access to information, the ability to connect with others, and the opportunity to shape our world in ways that are unlike anything we could have imagined.

In 1998, when Global Nomads Group (GNG) was founded, we needed to create the conditions that allowed young people to connect across difference and distance. We had to bring video conferencing equipment into remote areas so that these connections could happen for youth no matter where they lived.

Today, in many parts of the world, young people’s access to and comfort with technology is extraordinary. Connecting with others around the world is easy. So now, our work is focused on making these connections meaningful, giving all young people the skills and opportunity to engage with difference, harness the power of their voice, and experience deep empathy.

GNG’s work is anchored by our belief in and respect for the young people with whom we work.

We know that given the right opportunities and supports, they will far exceed anything we can dream of today. Ultimately, GNG envisions them as the generation that will lead us forward into a more just world, one that preserves the human dignity of each and every person.

GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP CAMPFIRE PROGRAMS ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY:

The Bezos Family Foundation supports rigorous, inspired learning environments for young people, from birth through high school, to put their education into action. Through investments in research, public awareness and programs, the foundation works to elevate the field of education and improve life outcomes for all children.

PhotoWings is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to utilizing the power of photography to further deep thinking, communication, and action. PhotoWings' mission is to highlight and help facilitate the power of photography to influence the world. They help photography to be better understood, created, utilized, seen, and saved.

Poly is the global communications company that powers authentic human connection and collaboration. Face to face, they sift and sort millions of verbal and non-verbal cues to glean meaning. Poly is finding new ways to inject these cues into audio and video communication to replicate the face to face experience. To build intimacy. To break walls and span distance. To nurture the simplicity and beauty of human connection.

Global Nomads Group Campfire programs are supported by the Stevens Initiative, which is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, with funding provided by the U.S. Government, and is administered by the Aspen Institute. The Stevens Initiative is also supported by the Bezos Family Foundation and the governments of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates.

The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Tunis explains and advocates U.S. foreign policy, American culture, and society while promoting dialogue between the U.S. and Tunisia through a variety of educational exchange programs, media relations, cultural activities, and English language training support.

GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP WELCOME! Welcome to Global Nomads Group (GNG) and our global community of educators!

Guided by academic research and deep empathy for young people’s interests and experiences, GNG’s curricula leverage storytelling and peer learning as the mechanisms for helping youth develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to thrive in the 21st century. Through sharing stories and building human connections, youth are inspired to learn and lead positive change in their communities, both local and global, and in ways both large and small.

WHO WE ARE

CAMPFIRE

Global Nomads Group (GNG) is an international non-profit organization that fosters dialogue and understanding among the world’s youth. Since its founding in 1998, GNG has conducted programs in 60 countries on all seven continents, reaching one million young people.

GNG's flagship program, Campfire, partners middle- and high school-age youth in the United States and the Middle East-North Africa region in virtual exchange through online dialogue and collaborative curricula. By providing opportunities to interact and engage with different perspectives, GNG helps youth break down stereotypes, address community challenges, develop 21st century skills, and explore what it means to be a global citizen.

Across history and cultures, campfires have brought together people of diverse backgrounds to share warmth and shelter, conversation and storytelling. GNG is taking this campfire concept digital, giving youth a virtual space to exchange their experiences, bypassing the imagined or physical borders that prevent them from meeting in person. Collaborating Classrooms is a Campfire program that expands middle- and high-school students’ exposure to and understanding of their global peers and the contexts and communities in which they live. Classrooms are partnered with up to three other classrooms of their global peers and they complete an 8-10 week long curriculum in tandem, collaborating virtually through GNG's online platform.

GETTING STARTED

PREPARING YOUR CLASS

Please make sure to explore the online student course thoroughly before you implement the Collaborating Classrooms program.

GNG will assign your students into 5 global peer discussion groups on the GNG Online Platform to ensure international representation in each group. Students can only access their assigned discussion groups; educators can access all of their class' discussion groups.

We highly encourage educators to lead interactive sessions that fully engage all students.

You may do so by... arranging students’ seating in groups adopting the role of a facilitator by asking questions and encouraging students to ask questions of each other distributing devices for students to use printing out handouts that students can use during sessions

This educator guide will take you through the entire implementation process of Campfire: Collaborating Classrooms. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

GETTING STARTED

GNG'S ONLINE PLATFORM

The Campfire: Collaborating Classroom's program uses technology via the GNG Online Platform to bridge distance and difference between your students and their global peers.

Distribute devices among students. Devices can be desktop computers, laptops, tablets or students’ own mobile phones. If students need to share a device, make sure to evenly divide students per device so they all have access to the Internet. If students are sharing devices, they should take turns completing online activities.

BROWSER LAUNCH Students can access the GNG Online Platform through a browser (GoogleChrome works best!) or through the Canvas mobile app. They each have their own username and password.

If they are launching a browser, type: https://gng.instructure.com/login/canvas in the address bar.

If they are using the Canvas mobile app, they can download the app on their phone and then type "Global Nomads Group" when asked for the name of the school.

COURSE NAVIGATION Students can view the GNG Online Platform and Course Navigation video tutorials found on the Canvas Tutorials page.

Throughout the program, students will click through pages on the GNG Online Platform to access content and activities. For easy navigation, they can click on the Modules button on the left side of the screen to select the exact page they'd like to access. They can also click the Next button on the bottom-right of each individual page to progress forward.

To get started, have students select the button below from the GNG Online Platform Homepage.

GETTING STARTED

CODE OF CONDUCT

Next, your students will see GNG's Code of Conduct. This is a very important agreement made between everyone who participates in a Global Nomads Group program. It is available in both English and Arabic on the GNG Online Platform, but students only need to complete it once.

Have students read the Code of Conduct thoughtfully.

They will need to check off each box on the Code of Conduct, committing themselves to posting and responding to their global peers in respectful, appropriate ways.

NOTE: This Code of Conduct ensures that all students treat the GNG Online Platform as a safe space to interact with new perspectives. Encourage your students to embrace the differences they may encounter throughout the program.

Make sure your students click SUBMIT on either the English or Arabic Code of Conduct before they progress to the next page. Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

13

GETTING STARTED

COURSE OVERVIEW & PRE-PROGRAM SURVEY

Next, your students will see an overview of the Collaborating Classroom's course. This page will explain the ideas and activities in each lesson with a short video.

Students can read through the entire scope of the program to understand what they are working towards. You can have students navigate through the overview independently or all together as a class.

Explain to students that each lesson will bring them closer to the culminating Story Share, during which they will be able to share their stories and the stories of their global peers.

Next, your students will take a short Pre-Program survey. Please make sure each student fills out the survey completely and honestly.

Clicking the link to the Pre-Program survey will redirect your students to SurveyMonkey. Please make sure they click "Submit" at the end of the survey so their responses are counted.

PROFILE CREATION

Before your students can officially begin the program, they will each need to create their own profile on the GNG Online Platform. The next page in the course instructs them how to do this:

If students are sharing devices, have them write their personal information down on paper before it is their turn to type.

If students do not have internet connection, have them type their personal information into a word document, so they can easily post when the connection is stronger.

Once students have agreed to the Code of Conduct, completed the PreProgram survey, and created their profiles on the GNG Online Platform, they are ready to begin Lesson One! © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

LESSON ONE

WHAT ARE STORIES AND WHY DO WE TELL THEM?

Explain to your students that sharing and exchanging stories is a powerful tool to make sense of the world.

When you choose to share your story, you are building a connection with those around you.

NOTE: Spelling Father is 4 minutes long, and Hakaya Storytelling Night is 7 minutes long. Have students watch individually with headphones or together as a class.

After they have watched both videos, have a discussion with your class about the stories they've heard. They will have discussion questions to prompt the conversation, but you can always add other topics and ideas to inspire them.

NOTE:

IMPORTANT!

Students will need to collect 2-3 photos that show people or places that are important to them. They should have their photos ready to be uploaded online by the next Campfire: Collaborating Classrooms session.

Depending on available class time, this may be a good point to conclude this session, and complete the remainder of the lesson in the next Collaborating Classrooms session.

LESSON ONE

WHO AM I ON THE INSIDE? MY VALUES

After students have discussed the importance of stories, they will complete an activity designed to help them articulate their own values.

Create copies of the Values Exercise Handout (the next page of this guide). Each student should have their own handout.

They will each fill in the handout with their own personal top 10, then top 3, and finally their top value.

TIP: It can be helpful to model the activity for your students. If you'd like, fill out the Values Exercise Handout along with your students.

Once students have picked their top value, provide paper and markers for the students to write their value in English and Arabic (along with any additional languages they know on a piece of paper.

Assist students as they take pictures holding up their value, like the sample shown. They will then use their values photo as their profile picture on the GNG Online Platform.

NOTE: Students are free to use a drawing or an online avatar in place of a photograph if they prefer. Please direct such students to upload a drawing or avatar of them holding their value. Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

LESSON TWO

LABELS AND THE STORIES THEY TELL

Lesson Two focuses primarily on labels and assumptions. Your students can read through the content online independently or you can structure a whole-class lesson based on the content.

Like other videos, Abdel's story can be shown to students individually or it can be projected to the class as a whole.

NOTE: Abdel's story is a 360 degree video, which means you can click and drag on the screen to rotate the camera. Be sure to let students know this if they are watching individually or to navigate the 360 capabilities for them if projecting it to the whole class.

Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

31

LESSON TWO

LABELS AND THE STORIES THEY TELL CONTINUED

Lead a discussion with your students about the labels that have been used to describe them.

When you feel like your students understand the idea of labels, pass out copies of the Labels and Assumptions Table (available in Course Resources). Each student should fill in the table with 5 - 6 labels and assumptions that people have used or made about them.

If you would like your students to explore the concept of labels more, there are two enhancement options. Please see additional information on the next two pages of this guide. Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

32

LESSON TWO

ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

If you would like to go deeper with your students and their understanding of labels, there are two enhancement activities available in Lesson Two. Enhancement activities are optional.

The first enhancement option shows students two articles with different perspectives about the labels we use to describe people with disabilities.

Have students read the articles and then lead a discussion based on the perspectives offered.

STORY ELEMENTS AND FORMATS CONTINUED

Lead a discussion using the questions on the GNG Online Platform based on the examples of stories provided.

Help your students identify the characters, setting, plot, theme and conclusion in each of the examples.

You can also discuss other stories that your students know well. Consider popular television shows, books, and films to help them consider the elements that make up successful stories and the different ways they can be communicated in a story.

NOTE:

Depending on available class time, this is a good point to conclude your Collaborating Classrooms session, and complete the remainder of the lesson in the upcoming session.

© GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

42

LESSON THREE

STORY IDEA

When your students understand the elements that make up a story, they are ready to begin thinking of the stories that they will share with their global peers for the Story Share Event!

Provide students with the story idea prompt:

Picture in your mind a time when you realized someone was making assumptions about you based on labels and not on your actual values. Focus on a moment when a label someone gave you was in conflict with your personal values.

Give students paper, pencils, markers and any other art supplies you'd like.

Have them focus on one moment when they took action to prove the incorrect labels or assumptions others had wrong.

If some students are having a difficult time thinking of a time when their labels and values were in conflict, share some story examples. If you feel comfortable, you can share a story from your own life. If not, make up a story or use one from a book or film.

Once your students have a moment in mind, have them draw that moment with the supplies you've provided. If they would prefer, they can use photos or write a short script to capture the moment they're imagining.

To help students who are learning English or having difficulty understanding the concepts central to this lesson, there are vocabulary words defined on the GNG Online Platform.

Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

43

LESSON THREE

STORY IDEA CONTINUED

Whatever medium your students have chosen to share, they can upload it to the GNG Online Platform.

Have students give a title to their post in the Crafting My Story Forum.

If they are embedding a drawing or a photo, they can watch the Embedding an Image in Canvas tutorial for help.

Students can review their response in this box before they click "Post Reply."

REMEMBER! Be sure to let your global peer educators know that your class has completed Lesson Three! You can post a message to them in the Educator Weekly Updates Forum. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

Make copies and provide the Storytelling Template and the Example Template (the next two pages of this guide). They can use the Example Template as a model to follow as they fill in their own Storytelling Template.

The Storytelling Template is a great tool to help students figure out the story elements that will appear in the stories they create.

NOTE:

Remind students that the story they will work on should be connected to their drawing or photo. Ask them to think of the events that led to that moment.

BEGINNING 3 years ago, I was facing a big problem. I would stutter when I spoke, and this made students think I was shy and slow.

MIDDLE Our teacher told us we had to do a presentation in front of the class. The words of my mother, encouraged me to finally make a change. I discovered that when I sang, my stutter didn't show.

END

I sang for my presentation, and all my classmates cheered for me!

Conclusion: Why is this story important? How does it continue to impact your life?

This moment was so important, because it was when I truly showed everyone my personality. It was a turning point that allowed me to have more confidence, and make friends. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

LESSON FOUR

DRAFTING MY STORY

Your students will be completing the first draft of their story based on the Storytelling Template they filled out.

Make copies of the written form of the story My Voice (the next page of this guide) and distribute them for the students to read. They can see how to incorporate the details from the Storytelling Template into their first drafts.

Most students should have decided on a medium for their story in Lesson 3. For those who haven't, they can choose the medium that works for them: prose text, poetry, photo story, video, comic, or any other option. The more creatively the story is told, the better!

Students will then share their drafts with their global peers by recording and posting a video or text version of their story.

Students can watch the video of Yasser’s story, My Voice, to give them an idea of how their first draft videos can look.

NOTE

© GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

If students are sharing devices, have a plan for students to take turns recording videos. Alternatively, ask students to bring devices from home, or to record their videos at home.

(Main Character) Where and when does the story take place? (Setting)

PLOT EVENT 1

MY VOICE My name is Yasser and I am 16 years old. Three years ago, I was too shy to talk

because of my stutter, which I've had since a very early age. People labeled me as

"slow" and assumed I couldn't understand what they were saying because of the way

I spoke. Eventually, I became afraid to say a single word because people would make fun of me. This made me seem like the most unsocial and boring person in class, during football practice, after school... anywhere. I wished people could see how I was at home. I was so silly and cheerful, and I really valued having fun with my

family. On the inside, I was smart and friendly, but I began to believe what people thought about me.

My mother was the only one who understood my situation. She would say, “Yasser, you have to speak up. Just try.” I would respond, “No, I cannot.” She always

encouraged me to show what she saw; her fun and smart boy. But she didn't see the looks other students would give when I spoke. They weren't laughing with me; they were laughing at me. It’s very difficult to describe the inner battle to her. I always

knew the right answers in class, but never raised my hand. I had so much to share

with other students about the things I heard them talk about. Things like homework, the new trending television show, family events no one wanted to go to. Instead, I sat all alone and didn't speak a word.

EVENT 2

One day, our Arabic class teacher told us that 15% of our final grade would go to presentations. My classmates cheered as they felt this was an easy assignmentanything is better than studying for an exam. But for me, I would have definitely

preferred the written exam. I started practicing my presentation in my room, but it was no use. My five-minute presentation will take me 5 hours!

EVENT 3

The day of the presentation, I woke up in the morning with a wild desire to make a big change. I heard my mother's encouraging voice and I realized that if I cannot

change myself, no one can. The first thing I did that day was sing! I remember that

day very well. It was bright and sunny. I felt as if I was in tune with the singing birds. I felt like their light-hearted songs were how I felt on the inside. When I sang, I didn’t hear the stutter in the same way. I felt free. I felt alive. I started to sing so loud that even the neighbors could hear me.

CONCLUSION

For my presentation, I decided to sing, too. My classmates groaned when the

teacher called for me to present. They didn’t know that I could sing. I still remember the shocked look on their faces when the words flowed out of my mouth without a

How does the story end?

How does this experience continue to impact your life?

bump. Even the teacher couldn’t hold back a gasp. After class, my classmates

clapped and cheered. It was the best presentation they had ever seen if I do say so

myself. I finally felt like the class was seeing the real me. From that day on, I allowed myself to talk more and more. I made friends because they finally saw my fun

personality. More importantly, they saw that I accepted myself and had confidence in who I am. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

LESSON FOUR

DRAFTING MY STORY CONTINUED

Once students have completed the first drafts of their stories, they can post them in the First Draft and Peer Feedback forum.

Students can use the Record/Upload Media button to include a video in their post. Just click, then select "Record Media" to record a video or "Upload Media" to select a video file from your device.

NOTE

Students will return to this forum in the next lesson to give and receive feedback from their global peers.

Once your students have posted the first drafts of their stories, they have completed Lesson Four!

REMEMBER! Be sure to let your global peer educators know that your class has completed Lesson Four! You can post a message to them in the Educator Weekly Updates Forum. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

LESSON FIVE

GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK

Now that students have posted the first drafts of their stories, they will give and receive feedback from their local and global peers.

Lead a discussion with your class about feedback using the questions provided on the GNG Online Platform. You can add your own questions as well.

Make copies of the Light-Bulb, Star, Wish & Question form (the next page of this guide) so that each of your students has one.

NOTE

A local peer is a student in the same classroom. A global peer is a student in a classroom in a different part of the world.

Divide your class into pairs of students. You may want the students to select who they will work with or you may want to assign them.

The pairs will read one another's first drafts and write their feedback for one another on the Light-Bulb, Star, Wish & Question form. They can use the examples of feedback from "My Voice" as a guide. When they are done, they can give the form to their partner and discuss the feedback.

Š GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

56

A LIGHT-BULB, A STAR, A WISH, AND A QUESTION Use feedback structure below as you read your peers' stories. Use the examples from "My Voice" as a guide.

Type of Feedback

Example from "My Voice"

A LIGHT-BULB (what new thing you learned about your global peer's community, your own community, or the world more generally from reading their story)

I never realized how similar our schools are to those in Moroccowe also have to do presentations.

I also found it interesting that students considered the presentation easier than a written exam- presentations absolutely terrify me and my classmates!

Another thing I learned was that the way we react to others, how we treat them, is very important. I will be more mindful to be inclusive and friendly to everyone.

A STAR (something you really liked about the story)

I loved how you described your feelings in the story. It made me relate to moments I felt that way.

A WISH (a constructive comment of what you wish to see improved)

I wish you wrote more about what happened after you gave the presentation.

A QUESTION (something you're curious to know more about)

After all these years, do you still enjoy singing? Do you have any plans to do it professionally?

Feedback for Peer(s)

LESSON FIVE

GLOBAL PEER FEEDBACK

After your students have given one another feedback on their first drafts, they will be ready to give feedback to their global peers.

NOTE

Your students will go back to the discussion forum from the last lesson (where they posted their first drafts) to read their global peers' first drafts and give feedback.

They can click "Reply" directly under the story they'd like to review and type their feedback in the text box that appears.

Encourage students to offer feedback on stories that others have not responded to so that everyone's story gets reviewed.

LESSON SIX

POSTING THE FINAL STORY

Students will begin the final lesson by incorporating the feedback they've received from their global peers and finalizing their stories.

Students do not need to incorporate all of the feedback that they've received, but they should do their best to make the requested changes and include any additional information.

When they are ready, they can post their completed story in whatever medium they've picked in the My Final Story Forum on the GNG Online Platform.

LESSON SIX

CHOOSING GLOBAL PEER STORIES & PREPARING FOR THE STORY SHARE

Students will view their global peers’ final stories on the GNG Online Platform and choose the most impactful stories. These can be stories they find moving or inspiring, relatable or simply funny and entertaining.

Students will choose at least 5 global peer stories to showcase in the Story Share.

Students can opt to present more than 5 stories if time permits.

The class can vote on which stories they'd like to share, and decide on how they will be sharing them.

Students can prepare for the Story Share by practicing their own stories and their global peer’s stories with one another. Make sure they are ready to present before the Story Share.

NOTE

You can have the class vote on which stories will be shared, have your students volunteer to share their favorite story from their global peers, or select the stories yourself. You can decide for your class how you'd like the Story Share to be structured.

TIPS: For stories in video format, you can have your students (a) introduce and show the original video to the Story Share audience or (b) tell the story themselves.

Give students the option to use Google Translate to translate their global peer’s story if they prefer to present it in a language other than the one in which it was written. © GLOBAL NOMADS GROUP

63

LESSON SIX

PREPARING FOR & HOSTING THE STORY SHARE

NOTE The purpose of the Story Share is for youth to share global stories with their local communities. Options for Story Share audiences can be the general local community, a community-based or civic organization’s members, the students’ families, another classroom of students at your school, younger students in your community, a gathering of community elders, local politicians—whatever works for your students!

REHEARSAL Make sure that students will be sharing at least 5 of their global peer class stories.

Give students time to practice reading and presenting their global peers' stories, focusing on voice, posture, and eye contact.

As many of our global peers will have written their stories in a language they are still learning, determine whether your students should read stories exactly as written or make grammatical changes where appropriate.

PHYSICAL SPACE Determine and book an appropriate space for your Story Share. Audiences can be seated in a circle (as they would around a campfire) or in rows.

Students can present their global peers’ stories from a podium, a stage, or their seats.

EVENT DURATION Story Shares can be held over one or multiple class periods or during out-ofclass time.

Students may opt to share a written summary of the stories they will read to audiences, and/or a description of the Campfire: Collaborating Classrooms experience.

HOSTING THE STORY SHARE Choose a student representative to introduce the audience to the Campfire program, including the purpose of the global collaboration, and what the students have learned from the experience.

Assign 1-2 student(s) to take photos and record videos of the event. Please post these videos and photos in the Story Share Forum on the GNG Online Platform.

LESSON SIX

POST-PROGRAM SURVEY

Our educators and students provide great insight into how we can improve our programs.

Your own response, as well as your students' responses to our surveys are very important in helping us make our programs better.

DURATION Our post-program surveys take from 10 - 20 minutes to complete. Please make sure to schedule time either after your Story Share or during another session for students to complete the survey.

IMPORTANT NOTES Surveys work best to help improve our programs when two things happen: (1) lots of educators and students take them and (2) people who start surveys answer all of the questions.

Please ensure that ALL of your students take the survey from their individual accounts, and complete ALL of the questions.

The program will not be considered complete if students do not take their surveys.

Tell students that taking this survey will help improve this virtual exchange experience for other students in the future. Similar to when you gave feedback to local and global peers, this is a great chance to share your personal insight based on your context. This is insight that only YOU can provide.

There are no right or wrong answers when taking the survey. Encourage students to answer honestly. If they are not sure of the answer, they should choose the first answer that comes to mind. It is important that all students do the survey on their own, without being influenced by their classmates' answers.
