** Title: Whispering Wisdom: ** //Advice from the Past// (cross posted from Mr. Bogush's class wiki)
===Too often people that are close to us pass away and we never get a chance to learn from their experiences. We spend our time with them talking about topics that are superficial and without any deep meaning. How was your game? What did you get on your report card? Are you going to the dance? What if we stopped for a second and instead of talking about the mundane, we talked about their experiences from the past? What if we could learn from their successes, failures, attempts and efforts? We tend to talk about the easy fun things and ignore the difficult tough ordeals. The fact is though, that the wisdom we gain in this life rarely comes from doing things that are easy and fun, but instead from things we do that cause us to struggle. What's really worthwhile in life is rarely easy. In social studies classes, we tend to only focus on the lives of certain people in each era ignoring the voices of many who go unheard. We study the glorious achievements of people without examining the pain, struggle, and failures that went into their achievements...and almost never pause to study the wisdom they gained from their actions. In this unit you are going to examine the life of one African-American from the 19th Century. After examining the actions and intentions of that person ask yourself the following question: If you had the opportunity to sit with that person on the last day of their life and talk about one heroic deed from their entire life, what wisdom would they whisper into your ear? //**That "whisper," is your thesis for your essay and video.**// There is a site that recorded the people from around the world "whispering their wisdom." It is called 6 Billion Others. If you would like to hear examples of people getting the opportunity to whisper their wisdom follow the directions below.===
