Ethnographic Eyes by Carolyn Frank
Main Points:
1. There are many different versions of the truth because everyone sees and understands things differently.
2. It is very important for educators to be able to view things for multiple perspectives because "our schools are becoming more ethnically and linguistically diverse." It is up to the teachers to be able to understand the needs of all students.
3. Ethnography is about separating what truly happened and what happened with your interpretation.
Discussion Questions:
1. Since there are different "truths" because everyone sees differently, is there a wrong way to take ethnographic notes?
2. How does ethnography affect an educator's ability to teach all of the children in a classroom?
