The "SeeSayShow" is a short "class monologue" that shares stories powered by "real-world" LEarning. I teach my classes in a building that used to be an annex to the former segregated high school for Cobb County Blacks. Today's episode shares a story about the first Black city councilman in our city (a graduate of the segregated high school), and how a lawsuit helped to facilitate his election. I am using a "quiz bowl" gameshow shtick to engage the students.

Dear Hannah - Truth without grace is mean. Grace without truth is meaningless. Purpose describes what we want & need to do. Ambition describes who & what we want to be. Purpose is more important than ambition. However, humans are imperfect, conflicting blends of purpose and ambition. Who & what we think we are - and who & what we want to be - sometimes hinders what we want & need to do. Our litany of global issues must be addressed locally and long-term with creativity, strategy, synergy, and power. Power is the ability to produce efficient work - through wise and skillful use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise. Ladies and gentlemen, the easiest way to see whether I am being led by purpose or ambition is to review my work. I have to check my outputs and inputs - my achievements and activities - and my processes. See, I cannot mistake activity for achievement ...

MLK's letter writing practice was strategic. It probably helped him remember who he was meeting, who they were, and what their encounters and meetings produced. These letters were probably his KnowledgeBase, and helped him to make moves.

Let me show you something ... We have a daughter. Her name is Hannah Adelle. She studies, therefore she thinks. She thinks, therefore she is. Her name means "graceful and noble". She is a lover. She loves her parents. She loves #LEarning. She #LEarns by studying her interests ...

(NOTE: It's not all about math with me ... I introduce StandupStorytelling and #TheSeeSayShow here) Let me show you something ... I love math. I love to do math. I also love to LEarn what math *does*. Math can be a little strange, though. Its oddities can confuse and irritate me. One such oddity is math's exclusive, alienating, almost "elitist" terminology, language, and "personality" ... and math's equally exclusive teaching style ...

Let me show you something ... Let's define a few key terms again ... for the first time. "Doctrine" is a "system of authoritative beliefs". "Indoctrination" is "teaching an authoritative system of beliefs". A "discipled indoctrinator" is one who has been indoctrinated in a way that teaches them how to indoctrinate others. "Discipled indoctrinators" defend and protect the ideas that shaped their learning. They do so by portraying efforts to expose, unlearn and relearn their indoctrination ... as indoctrination ...

Let me show me you something ... I am a game designer, and have discovered that they are a great way to share information. Many years ago, I wrote one called “NOW YOU KNOW (History Quiz Bowl)”. It shares the stories of ordinary people who inspired me with their work … in a “Jeopardy”-styled format. The Lewis C. Scott photo that I just shared is from a "Lemon Street Stories" category used on a “NOW YOU KNOW (History Quiz Bowl)” episode. The photo of Thomas Nast displayed now is from an early episode ...

Let me show you something ... This is Lewis C. Scott. The "C" stands for "Clyde". Mr. Scott is a hero and role model of mine. He taught at Lemon Street High School - Cobb County's segregated high school for Blacks. He was everyone's favorite teacher. That is not an exaggeration. He is my hero and role model because I know that his school leaders (his bosses) leaned on him for an unusual amount of support ... and he probably never would have said that out loud ...
