Thanks so much to all who responded to my last post with ideas that we should have thought about before launching into the Ladder of Prjudice Lessons ...
We took it all to heart (<3) and are excited for two things:
1. The station work that they kids did this past week show that they really do understand how the ladder works (that as speech becomes acceptable it is easier to avoid groups of people, and so on) - they also have some pretty unique and original ideas about how to break down the ladder!
Once again, I am in awe at the amount of learning I glean from the students and fervently hope that they learn at least half as much from me!
2. Their videos. This week, the kids will be creating videos with the aim of teaching others about creating a positive chain reaction - stopping the prejudice and hurt - and caring about others in the world, no matter how similar or different they are!
I'll post back here this week with some stduent samples, hopefully .... their plans reflect the reality of the world they live in, and their hopes for changing it!
