CW THINKER
The Project
Mrs. Bouley, Mrs. Field, and Ms. Cionca have partnered up to explore the important concept of empathy and the power of photography to help us empathize with others. Students examined the powerful photography of Dorothea Lange and wrote poetry from the perspective of her subjects. They also discussed the saying “put yourself in their shoes” and learned about the organization Soles4Souls who takes this saying quite literally. Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. Since 2006, they have distributed over 30 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries and all 50 US states. EVERY SINGLE ONE of those pairs makes a difference in people’s lives. Check out their website to learn more: https://soles4souls.org/our-impact/
This blog is all about gaining a new appreciation for our shoes and raising awareness about the charity Soles4Souls. Each student is asked to take a “shoe self portrait” in a place where they are happy their shoes can take them. In art class students will be making pendant necklaces to sell to help raise money for Soles4Souls.
