2. My thoughts on the Curwood (2013) article
Whether it is The Hunger Games or other literary texts, affinity spaces can significantly cultivate student interest and meaning making.
I see the power of affinity spaces in my own children.
How can affinity spaces be utilized in regular classrooms?
Are what are some potential risks or concerns with affinity spaces?

3. What are your thoughts?

4. Check in on your nations

Select one of these orientations and discuss ways in which teachers might reimagine or rethink prior assumptions about teaching and learning.

6. To what extent do kids need technology to find affinity spaces?
