Lessons/Activities
Race/Ethnicity
Lesson about the way we talk about the “civilization” and “technology” of pre-Colombian peoples and how to reframe our thinking about them
Math lesson using bar graphs to analyze data about gun violence in different populations
High school unit plan around the Invisible Man specifically focused on identity, race, etc.
Infographics lesson (math, social studies, language arts) centered around “Stop and Frisk” and its ramifications
Lesson about the history of discrimination and its ramifications through time (also relevant to ability, sexuality, gender, etc.)
Lesson about our position in civil rights history, and how far we have to go to achieve equality
Ability
Service learning project where students educate school community about autism
Lesson about neurodiversity and navigating the world “differently” (for high school)
Sexuality
Activity about activism against unjust laws, how activists/protesters are portrayed, and specifically about Prop. 8
Series of grade-level appropriate lessons and activities centered around helping children understand and welcome different sexualities and how they are present in the community (organized around the film It’s Elementary)
Class
Activity in which students engage with restaurant menus, minimum wage, and class disparities and how they impact peoples’ everyday lives
Investigates the importance of food in education, and the factors that link the two (ability to afford nutritious food, ability to afford lunch and education at the same time, etc)
Religion
Project which compares different religious beliefs about death and the afterlife, and how those beliefs affect peoples’ lives
A case-study activity centered on a young Dutch girl during the Holocaust who must decide whether or not to help her Jewish friend hide from the Nazis (can be used in class for discussions about being allies, the value of helping those who are oppressed/in danger, etc.) - easily integrated into social studies/literacy lessons about the Holocaust
Gender
Activity using two different pictures of female construction workers to engage students in discussion about media representations and stereotypes of women
Elementary lessons centered on welcoming and respecting different gender identities and different family structures, and on preventing bullying based on these issues
Lesson about the importance of girls’ education worldwide
