Instructional Ideas

  • Gather a collection of the books listed on pages 61-64, set titles out for learners to browse when time permits 
  • Play a video at the start of a lesson to hook participants' attention, or play videos at the end of a lesson alongside a reflection piece either written or oral
  • Write and send a letter to parents and guardians informing them of the lessons' topics, including ways they can reinforce lessons at home  

Classroom Considerations

  • Individual lessons take approximately 45 minutes 
  • A variety of materials are required—take a look at the lessons you wish to conduct to discover what you need 

Pros

  • A table of contents makes locating lessons easier 
  • Offers several tips for inclusivity 
  • Lessons include extension activities
  • The entire unit is well organized and user-friendly 

Cons

  • None
