- Extra enrichment/extension activities
IN CLASS: PowerPoint with slides for each Warm-Up topic, conversation starter questions and lesson plan for discussions and activities.
BLOG: The blog is turn-key – with 23 days of pre-written posts. This is great way to augment the effectiveness of the Social Justice Warm-Ups. The blog is secure, interactive, and engaging – with detailed instructions for teacher set-up. Learning about Social Justice and helping students become more aware of prejudice and discrimination is imperative as we prepare them to live and work in our diverse world – and this unit opens conversations and engages students.
BLOG SECTIONS: Each warm-up has an accompanying blog post. The pages are laid out for you in this manual. There are also instructions on how to set up a secure blog with Google Blogger. A blog is great for distance learning. Each separate blog post is on a new page (or pages) - for you to copy and paste and edit – so you can modify them to address issues in your part of the world.
EXTRA READING: Some of the blog sections and in class lessons have extra readings and video clips you can link to (if you are using this unit for distance learning.) Some of the PDFs for those readings are in the folder titled “extra readings” – very original title, right?
EXTENSION ACTIVITIES: There are three enrichment activity/assignment menus before the blog posts begin. The pages state which posts to put them between. I say “menus” because they offer students differentiated activities/assignments to choose from. This type of differentiation makes it easy to assess understanding. Strugglers may choose activities on the lower end of Bloom’s – while advanced students can dig in and think critically.
If you don’t want to edit, the lessons are turnkey – copy, paste and you are off.
It is imperative to teach students about the world and everyone in it by having real conversations around social and cultural differences and privilege. Students need to understand social issues, what society is and how we must all live peacefully together.
We all, students included, need to face the conversations around discrimination and racism happening in our world with frankness and honesty. Teaching Social Justice must occur, not simply because it’s relevant, but so students can explore how their stories fit into the larger quilt of the national and global blanket that make up our world.
This isn’t easy. These activities don’t always feel good and don’t always, or even rarely, end in simple answers. But as educators, we must ensure that each student in our influence, at some point, stands up for what they believe in. They may not always agree with others, but at least we can give them the tools to share their beliefs with respect and compassion for others.
