Visual Listening Journal

We’re making

An accordion fold book that can be used as a visual journal to record mixed media drawings and notations representing individual journeys of learning and unlearning in relation to race, racism, and identity

We’re inspired by

Jane Ash Poitras' painting Shamanic Journey (1992)

Suggested grade levels

Grades 4-7 & 8-9

We’re wondering

• What role does active listening play in a journey of learning and unlearning?
• How can we communicate our learning journey using the languages of the arts?
