Memories as Stories Response

Submitted by Benjamin Zerante on Fri, 07/20/2007 - 9:55am.
I too am a little uncomfortable saying that my memories are not real. However, I see that there are many things that happen which support this notion. There are many useful applications for this in the classroom as well. If you enter a discussion with a student about a certain event, it is helpful to remember that your perception of the event and their's may be very different. If we remain open to understanding that student's memory of the event we can help them open up and see other perspectives. I think this could have great potential for increasing tolerance, compassion, and understanding in the classroom.
