Instructional Ideas
  • If unable to view the exhibit have groups research Ruby Bridges, Ryan White, and Anne Frank and create their own museum-style displays

  • A protocol must be in place for a safe and supportive environment for discussion
  • Prior to beginning the unit, investigate the availability of on-site and community support services
  • Requires copies of Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl
Pros

  • All the lessons are richly detailed 
  • The third lesson in the unit asks class members to make real world connections to what they have learned by creating an action plan to address a problem in their community
Cons
