This lesson explicitly addresses racism that may have been happening in your school or class. The learning objective is to understand what racism is. The first slides focuses on what racism is and has a link to a child friendly youtube video to answer this question. The next few slides focus on identity and how someone’s identity is who they are and many of these qualities you cannot change ie. skin colour, sexual orientation, likes, dislikes etc. One of the slides addresses the fact that just because someone has a different preference or quality to you doesn’t mean it effects you personally. We are all different but that does not matter - we all have the same community and need to work together. There is another link to a Youtube story ‘a kids book about racism’ by Jelani Memory. We then look at WHY someone might grow up with racist views ie. parents, closed-minded etc. We then discuss how you can be racist without realising ie. saying certain words or stereotyping. We then look at quotes and we address why those comments are racist. The next few slides show motivational posters to stop racism which are a discussion point. I have attached Twinkl’s racism scenario cards which is what my class responded to in their books. #racism #anti-racism #racist #anti-racist #pshe #inclusivity #equality #diversity#equalityanddiversity
