How would you describe the man in this photograph?

Students in Room 20 were posed this question and asked to brainstorm as many words as possible. Their answers were insightful, powerful and thought provoking.  As we embark on our Inquiry question of "What Is Homelessness?" and "What Is Poverty?" we will continue to come back to this photograph and others like it to challenge our perceptions and misconceptions alike.

Sharings from Room 20:

“He’s not taken care of” 

“Poor” 

“Hungry” 

“Attacked” 

“Theif” 

“Farmer” 

“Actor” 

“Prisoner” 

“Abandoned”

“Tired” 

“Came out of a house fire” 

“Survivor of war” 

“Betrayed” – Jawad
