Extractions: Quiz on Prejudices - an interactive lesson and good starting point for discussion. http://www.eburg.com/beyond.prejudice/Quiz.html I missed a lot of these questions and found them to cover a large section of different kinds of discrimination. I'd recommend this site for information on prejudices- it provides some interesting statistics. Interesting site to collect great dicussion questions. One might take caution with taking the multiple choice and true/false quiz, many of the choices are not chooseable due to lack of detail in the questions being asked. For instance the first question uses the word "punishment" but it's not defined as a simple reprimand, a fine, or jail time. Do Something - Young People Changing the World. Activities and links. http://www.dosomething.org/ This link has the familiar celeb-centered look and hip-hop tone that adolescent net-junkies have come to expectan important aspect overlooked by a lot of sites. A couple of window buttons don't work on the current page. This isn't for "deep thoughts", but it is very accessible for new initiates to social justice issues. Lots of info and possiblities. Could possibly motivate the unmotivated.

Students homework is to go home and interview a family member about their own family story, finding out specific countries of origin, narratives, and symbols that represent their history.
Extractions: The children will have a great time sampling the different foods and seeing the countries in the maps and brochures. They will hear first hand about that country ( things not often mentioned in textbooks). and it will make the lesson more memorable. This lesson could be adapted for reading classes also.

However, if you object to any of it for religious, political or other reasons, then you are free to not use it. Others may, and probably do, feel differently. For those of you who do object to any of these lesson plans and activities for reasons of religion, philosophy, or politics, there is already enough "educational material" online to support the cause of those of who would seek to limit, or deny, the rights of others because they are different from what some may view as the "acceptable norm." - Archaeolink.com is not a vehicle for such activity. "The highest result of education is tolerance." - Helen Keller Please note that with regard to lesson plans dealing with anthropology, archaeology, indigenous people, ancient civilizations, history, etc, there may be some cross-over and blurring of lines between the topics. For example, a lesson plan dealing with archaeology is automatically dealing with an anthropological subject. A lesson plan dealing with indigenous people is also automatically dealing with anthropology and any of them may, or may not, be dealing with history or ancient civilizations. While every attempt will be made to keep the topic lines as 'clean' as possible, be aware this may not always be possible.
