Episode about ELL and ESL students, Definitions, Strategies & Challenges
-As we know Martin Luther King, is the person famous for his contributions of the American civil rights movement in the 1960 (the movement sparked After the Black skin color lady did not give her seat to Whit skin color individual in public bus).His famous speech was “I have a DEARM SPEECH” he spoke about his dream of a united states that is empty from segregation and racism.-When the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., third happened grade teacher, Jane Elliott designed a response to the children's question, "Why would anyone want to murder Martin Luther King?-She knew she needed to teach her all white class a lesson on the power of labels and discriminations .Grade 3 teacher mentioned about refine frustration that was happened when King Martin assassinated in Memphis in US’s society and she found that she should do something against discrimination and racism. (James Earl Ray killed Martin).-She divided her class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed students and proceeded to simulate what it was like to be discriminated against. This experiment demonstrates that grade 3 teacher mentioned about refine frustration that was happened when King Martin assassinated in Memphis in US’s society and she found that she should do something against discrimination and racism. (James Earl Ray killed Martin).-The Teacher mentioned from first day of school we concretely talked about racism and bad consequences but difficult to be understand by grad 3 kids, she stated “I had found that I should do something”.
-I think because American Society those days did not know any thing about bad effects and negative results of discrimination in long term that could affect both of the black and white society, then especially White people just thing about short term privileges.
-Then in class what the teacher did and she separated and labeled them in 2 gropes. And both of the grouped found no body liked to teased or discriminated and nobody could survive in toxic atmosphere.
-When I watched the movie, the teacher said” this a fact that Blue eye people better than brown eye people “then their faces are changed and expressions appeared.
-Then facial expression combined with body language (they boy used her figures for teasing and discrimination) and then verbal abuse (he said I hate you and then nervous laughing came at the end). (The other girl in movie tried to hide her face and covered her anxiety that appeared on her face). We could watch clearly that the discrimination effects on child behavior and emotional pressure impacted them and stress full situation that was formed in this toxic atmosphere were obvious and could seen without any doubt. -self-fulfilling prophecies normally happened when a wrong expectation it could be positive or negative about something or even someone lease to own confirmation.

When the teacher mentioned we are waiting for blue eyes or blue eyes could go to lunch first it was horrible. the brown eyes kids had bad feeling but they did not say any thing but their efficiencies (brown eyes) dramatically decreased and brown eyes because of teasing could not focused on materials- In addition, the sense of revenge increased and it could be very harmful.
-Next day When teacher mentioned we are waiting for brown eyes or brown eyes could go to lunch first and have some privileges again it was horrible. This time the blue eyes kids had bad feeling but they did not say any thing but their efficiencies (blue eyes) dramatically plunged. blue eyes because of teasing and discrimination could not focused on materials. Best friends took apart by labelling. Then we students came back home all the time they talked about hating somebody and also hating teacher that made this situation.
-White people could not understand the suffering of discrimination whit black and Indian, unless they would be very welled informed and have enough knowledge. Remember what happened last year, 2020 in USA .The black lives matter movement shook the world. Protest on June 6 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC over the death of George Floyd, a black man who was in police custody in Minneapolis showed their demonstration and aware whole the world.
-Because the color is different, they are down and student completely agree with this judgment because they did not know how much discrimination is bitter and could be harmful unless practically, they felt them in social tasks.- The experiment was done in prison with same result for adult and many years latter in Opera Talk show and still the results were remained same.
