This week is #[MuseumWeek](http://museumweek2015.org/en), where museums from around the world will be convening with museum lovers on twitter to journey behind the scenes, to explore the grounds, and to share ideas about what we choose to remember for the future.

# [Teaching “The Book of Negroes” Part III: Addressing Difficult Moments in History](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/teaching-the-book-of-negroes-part-iii-addressing-difficult-moments-in-history/)

For the past few weeks, I have been thinking and writing about ways to bring *[The Book of Negroes](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/category/the-book-of-negroes/)* into the classroom through discussions of identity, and a study of the history of race and slavery in America.

[The first post](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/teaching-the-book-of-negroes-part-i-race-names-and-identity/) offered ideas for establishing a safe classroom for discussing difficult ideas through contracting. It also offered a strategy for exploring names, identity, and the relationship we each have to the world. [The second post](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/teaching-book-of-negroes-part-ii-us-and-them/) built on the theme of identity by examining the beliefs we hold that separate us from others, and how our beliefs can influence the choices we make. This week, I want to address how teachers can bring the book’s difficult moments into the classroom safely.

It always amazes me how good literature has the capacity to expand our understanding of our world, challenge our memory of history, and grow our thinking about human nature and human experience.

As someone who works with educators, I love to see how bringing great stories grounded in lived experiences into classrooms can begin conversations, spur questions, and help students make connections between themselves, the lives of others in the stories they read, and the world around them.

# [5 Remembrance Day Lesson Ideas That Deepen Student Learning](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/5-remembrance-day-lesson-ideas-that-deepen-student-learning/)

Remembrance is an act of humanity and it is about humanity. At Facing History and Ourselves, we often ask ourselves, How do we help students (and ourselves) to remember more than names, dates, and battles? How do we help students to connect to the humanity: the people behind the names, the lives, ideas, and cultures lost, and the legacies that extend beyond the signing of a treaty that signals the end of war?
