This 2-3 day lesson includes activities and written reflection, some of which use data for interpretation. It begins with exercises about exclusion and leads to a lesson about the impact of students using the phrase “that’s so gay.” Specifically, students examine data about suicide and depression rates among LGBTQ youth. As a social studies lesson, it would fit well in a unit on Japanese Exclusion and the Holocaust. Click here for slides.
Activity Overview: Introduce your family to the class -- in Japanese!
Activity: Explore the diversity of family structures by looking at works of art from a photography exhibit at the MFA called “(un)expected families.” Next, pick someone from your own life who makes you feel a sense of family to honor. Turn a photo of this person or people in a type of print called a collagraph.
