Thunk on Racism

Jim Riley

This is from Ian Gilbert’s book- The Little Book of Thunks (just Google it). The (very) rough idea of a ‘thunk’ is to develop students thinking skills and Gilbert seems to advocate getting students into a circle and getting them all to contribute and debate - no writing involved. Here’s one which is about race - could be useful to link up to discussion about policies too:

” Is not being against racism the same as being for it”?
