LEARNING PLAN
Essential Question
  • People seek justice for multiple reasons. They seek justice because they want the same rules that others are given. For example, Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln, and Susan B were all historical people who made a big change for the better many years ago. Students will first learn a little more about who these 4 people are before going into a class game. In the class game, students will sit in the circle and pass around a plate. The plate has fewer cookies on it than the number of students sitting in the circle. Students will take turns passing the plate around the circle while each student takes a cookie off the plate to keep and eat. While the number of cookies is taken off the plate, the last few students will realize there aren't enough cookies for everyone. When there are no more cookies, students will answer these class questions.
  • - How did the students feel who didn't get a cookie?
  • - If you were a student who didn't get a cookie, how did you feel?
  • - What would be the fair solution to this problem
  • - Can you think of another situation when people might feel left out.

Close and Critical Reading

Agree/Disagree Statements

Agree/disagree statements challenge students to think critically about their knowledge of a topic, theme or text. The strategy exposes students to the major ideas in a text before reading—engaging their thinking and motivating them to learn more. It also requires them to reconsider their original thinking after reading the text and to use textual evidence to support and explain their thinking.

Fairness Fair

Students work in groups to role-play or tell stories about real life situations related to fairness, community, diversity or social justice themes. Students then perform their skits or stories for others as part of a class-wide “fairness fair.”
