No More Hate and Fear—Spread the Word!
What is a world citizen's responsibility to promote and advocate for justice and kindness?
Students become aware of the nature of prejudice and the positive nature of cultural differences. Learners apply knowledge of prejudice and cultural uniqueness by teaching these concepts to younger children.
This lesson will focus learners' attention on the need to recognize and prevent (or find solutions to) prejudice based on cultural, ethnic, racial, gender, economic, age, social, ability or religious differences.
Learners will identify elements of cultural differences found in picture books about children in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and minority groups in North America. They will also identify one difference they can celebrate in some way, such as the fun or expediency of doing a common task in a different way or seeing the beauty of a different style.
The learners will apply what they have learned about prejudice, its causes and possible preventions/solutions, to create materials to teach younger students about these lessons.
