They would then use the evidence I provide to develop an argument. After, I would ask them to present their side to the class. Given that the topic of Donald Trump is one that can carry heavy emotional and personal ties, I would leave time at the end of the class or discussion to debrief so I don’t send my students off to their next class with anger or distress. Another approach I would take in teaching about Donald Trump would be to have my students look at his actions during the election and his actions so far in his presidency through various lenses. One lens would be looking at Donald Trump through a social justice lens. Another will be using the Declaration of Human Rights and take a human rights lens. These lenses provide my students with opportunities to critically think and analyze Donald Trump’s actions through diverse perspectives but also to provide them with skills that could be applied to other situations. In parallel to my Jesuit education at Loyola, I hope to prepare my students to live extraordinary lives so that they can set the world on
