This lesson plan encourages students to consider their own identity and to recognize that every person has multiple identities. Students will learn that peoples’ identities are similar in some ways and different in others by describing group identities, analyzing how people’s identities are represented in books, and writing a book review evaluating how characters’ identities are similar to and different from their own.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
