Mounted on classroom wall at child-eye-height. Used in lesson 12 to audit a real local landmark plaque. Children apply the wheel to one chosen plaque and report which voices are centered, which are mentioned, and which are missing. CRITICAL teacher framing: NOT a 'gotcha' exercise toward the past - a discipline of careful noticing. The 8-segment design is INTENTIONAL - it names the most commonly-silenced voice categories in American local history without becoming exhaustive.

Prompt

Apply MG-9 Voice-Audit Wheel to one local plaque. Color the 8 segments: GREEN = centered, YELLOW = mentioned, RED = missing. Write a 3-4 sentence Voice-Audit Reflection.

How it's presented
mode manipulative
Answer criteria
type voice audit with reflection
rubric
8 segments colored + reflection naming 1 centered + 1 missing voice = mastery
Hints
  1. Look for explicit names in the plaque text.
  2. Then look for implicit groups not named.
  3. The missing voices are your most important finding.
Misconceptions to watch
  • Children may color all segments yellow ('sort of mentioned') - push for clear discrimination.
