Sketching on the whiteboard during Year 10 history today. Teaching the history of the womens’ movement in Australia. Exchanging ideas with the students regarding the glass ceiling. I asked the students to create a diagram that they felt illustrated the concept. I sketched my own. Consisted of stick figures.
As I sketched one of my students exclaimed, “Whoever invented stick figures was a genius!”.
It was a revelatory moment for her and also for me. That person was a genius.
