Homework: Compare and Contrast Racism Essay due tomorrow!
Inquiry: Why are people harassed? How can we change our reality? What does it take to change our world?
Objective: SWBAT read and interpret their world by developing skits related to harassment and reflecting on ways to change that reality.
Agenda:
- Announcements - Essay Due + Peer Review.
- Peer Review explanation.
- Watch video as a class; students generate personal responses to the video where they work in groups to re-enact a part of the video that they related to or stood out to them.
- Theatre of the oppressed activity:
- A group acts out their skit once in front of the room.
- As the group acts out the same skit a second time, any student can pause the skit, jump in, and change the course of the events.
- Class discussion and writing reflection: What did it take for reality to be changed? What personal values and actions did it require for someone change the world? Are you someone who could change the world?
