MARCIA CHATELAIN: I like to modulate the tone of class week
by week.
I was just talking to someone about this very issue.
So if I talk about a particularly difficult moment
in history, for instance, if I'm teaching about the Selma
to Montgomery March and violence against peaceful protesters,
the next week, I might dial it back
and talk about music in the civil rights movement.
I try to make sure that I'm sensitive to the fact
that students will be challenged and pushed
to talk about difficult things, and that we can modulate
the tone so that students can appreciate
the full spectrum of learning.
