Construct a narrative that shares something you have learned about yourself (auto), from within your cultural context (ethno), written about yourself as “a member of a larger social group”(graphy).
Consider how you personally experience the world?
What is your salient identity?
What part of yourself do you consider most influential when interacting with others and the world at large?
Is it your gender? Race? Culture? Religion? Something else?
Examine the ways you relate to the world through elaborating on your own primary lens.
How does this self frame what you experienced in the story?
Explore connections across cultures oppressed by this effect of a dominant culture.
Would you consider yourself part of the dominant or marginalized part of society? Explain.
How could the knowledge that you have gleaned in parts 1 and 2 influence your pedagogy and instruction?
How will you personally create classroom environment that promote student empowerment, empathy, and a positive classroom culture in urban schools?
How could you specifically use auto ethnographies in your own classroom to promote an empathetic and caring culture?
