How Much Is Too Much?

Posted on December 10, 2017 by Mrs. Giacomazza

TMI is an acronym known to many when it comes to the digital world. Grade 6/7 students were asked how much is Too Much Information to share online through various forms of social media tools such as Snap chat (video or photo messaging system) or FB, IM IG, YT, etc. Students know not to give personal information but when we talked about other scenarios, it because much more difficult to keep ‘life’ relatively private.

TMI Scale

Students first completed a survey from Netsmartz.org called “Which Teen Are You?”
After the survey, we went over the profile and watched the video on 6 Degrees of Information

Decide for yourself if you think the following represents your understanding of how much is too much information and consider why it is too much?

The Moccasin by Earl Einarson

Posted on November 26, 2017 by Mrs. Giacomazza

Reference: https://lostandfoundbooks.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/the-moccasins-they-made-me-feel-warm-and-loved/

“They made me feel warm and loved”: That is how Earl Einarson felt as a child when his foster mother gave him a special gift–a pair of moccasins that connected him to his First Nations culture. Years later, Einarson, who is a member of the Ktunaxa First Nation, shared his childhood story in a beautiful little book called, The Moccasins (2004). This first-time author packs a powerful story about self-esteem, acceptance and love for adopted or foster children, Aboriginal or otherwise–and underlines the need for children to maintain their cultural backgrounds.
