A lovely Alien message decoding activity setting a task for students to do on the topic of racism.
They must first decode the message, which tells them that racism, prejudice and discrimination are problems. They then have to find the meaning of these words and do a show or a poster introducing the topic and how these problems can be addressed.
This Alien code activity works well with the Racism, discrimination and prejudice introductory PPT
Newly Updated - further updates coming soon.
This 18 slide presentation breaks down the language surrounding racism with definitions, examples and talking points.
Students will learn what the various terms mean, see examples and give their own examples, before seeing examples from the real world, with photographs in the last few slides.
This is an excellent resource for opening up conversations about race and racism and get students to really think about the different types of racism and how they potentially are contributors to racism themselves through their choice of language.
A bundle for the topic of racism, prejudice, segregation and discrimination.
-A fantastic, heavily differentiated, Rosa Parks unit to introduce the topic and get students thinking about segregation and the injustice of it.
-A cute PPT introducing the language so students understand the different forms of racism, but bringing in the relevance to real life.
-An alien message decoding activity. Aliens from the future explain that the students are to do a show about racism and how to handle it.
