Influences lesson

Magic for Humans

Is a show on Netflix that I watched and could see myself teaching this quick lesson in class.

Teacher inspiration never fades. (I have a feeling many teachers are using this clip. Unsure of school and copyright legislation.)

Magic for Humans. Season 3 “Power Trip” Three clips would be fun to discuss in I.School. Power of Words, Authority, and Influencers. 

Power of Words 7:15 to 11:00 minutes. Netflix.

Middle School Lesson on the magic of words.Cute.

Power of Authority

Similar to old Psychological experiments, demonstrating the power of a lab coat and lies.

7 minutes. *The Power of Influencers starting at 16:40 minutes.

My personal favorite. I wonder what a class of students would say about this.

Question and follow up conversations:

How do Words, Authority, and Influencers affect your education? (Examples)

Honestly, I think the lesson speaks for itself. One hour of classroom discussion would be enlightening. For me. :)

Application: The Power of Words, Authority and Influencers.

Word. Evil. "extreme moral wickedness; something that brings sorrow, distress, or calamity.”

Authority figure on another school shooting: “What happened today is pure evil.”

I Question? Which is evil, a 14 year old, or school?

Influencers: Media focus on gun control, parents, blame.

Students? Need to report back to school immediately.

Repeat.
