Unit Rational
Unit Rational:
In order to build a better community we must begin by allowing our young adults to forge new cultural and social awareness which is based on differences and acceptance. They must learn not only to accept and treasure our cultural diversity but also help to provide equitable opportunities.
Students will be able to gain an understanding of the social lives of minorities during WWII by comparing the classroom notes with their own online research on the Zoot Suit Riots.
Students will be able to write a business letter or create a public service announcement to articulate their service learning project of collecting suits for prom.
Essential Questions:
What was public sentiment during WWII? Do you think the emotions that compliment war play apart in the everyday lives of the warring state’s citizens? Who were the aggressors in the Zoot Suit Riots?
How can learning about Zoot Suiters help your community during prom? How can a business or the community help?
How did the Zoot Suit Riots lead Luis Valdez use the arts to portray the events from the 1940s?
What makes up different kinds of traits?
How can we identify them in people?
Do Traits change over time?
Do our experiences influence who we are.
How does evidence make characters traits less like stereotypes?
Enduring Understanding:
1. Every human being should know his/her natural rights. They are a set of rights that each individual is born with and can never have taken away from them.
2. Every student should be able to feel equal, helping others is one way to make community with each other.
3. Everyone has different aspects of their personality; these character traits influence how we view our selves and how others view us. By learning how to identify traits with in a story, and supporting these with evidence from a text, students will be able to identify how traits are established and supported with details. Students will also be able to analyze how traits and stereo types are converted by supporting understanding with evidence.
