Lesson script

Step 1: Homework Check (5 mins)

Teacher: Good morning, everyone. Alright, let's start with a quick homework check. Can I have one or a few students to present their homework?

(Student presents their homework)

Step 2: Introduction (5 mins)

Teacher: So today we're going to be talking about race and ethnicity case studies in the United States. But before we start, let's make sure we define the difference between race and ethnicity. Who can define race? (Teacher waits for students to respond) And how about ethnicity? (Teacher waits for students to respond) Great, now that we've defined that, let's get started.

Step 3: Interactive Presentation (15 mins)

Teacher: (Displays the interactive presentation) Alright, now I want you to take a look at these case studies related to race and ethnicity in the United States. Take a few minutes to read through them and share your thoughts with the class.

(Students discuss and share their thoughts with the class)

Step 4: Group Task (20 mins)

Teacher: Alright, now let's move on to our group task. I want you to divide yourselves into groups and take a closer look at the case studies I've provided for you. Analyze them and see if you can identify any patterns or biases related to race and ethnicity.

(Students divide into groups and analyze their respective case studies)

Step 5: Card Activity (10 mins)

Teacher: Now I'm going to pass out these race and ethnicity cards to each of you. I want you to fill them out as best as you can.

(Passes out the race and ethnicity cards to the students)

Step 6: Checking and Collecting Cards (5 mins)

Teacher: Alright, you have a few more minutes to finish up. In the meantime, I'm going to collect or randomly check the completed cards.

(Waits for students to finish and collects or randomly checks the completed cards)

Step 7: Summary and Homework (10 mins)

Teacher: Alright, that's it for today's class. Let's quickly recap what we've covered. We defined race and ethnicity, analyzed case studies related to race and ethnicity, identified patterns and biases related to race and ethnicity, and completed our race and ethnicity cards. For your homework, I'm going to hand out printed handouts with a list of case studies to analyze. Discuss your findings with your classmates in the next class. Thank you, and have a good day.

(Recaps the lesson and hands out printed handouts for homework)

• How did completing the race and ethnicity cards help you understand the lesson content better?
• What questions would you ask the authors of the case studies we analyzed if you had the chance to interview them?
• How do you think discussing our findings with our classmates in the next class will help us better understand race and ethnicity case studies in the United States?
