So how do we\, as social justice teachers\, expose our students to the myriad historical and contemporary truths of injusti ce\, prejudice and systematic cruelty while still being hopeful\, joyful\ , kind\, and visionary? One way is to share examples of how people have organized to fight injustice throughout history. With a little digging\, I am confident there is a corresponding movement for justice that accompa nies every example of injustice in our history. This workshop takes part icipants through a writing and social studies unit analyzing several peop le who have fought for justice. \; We will discuss characteristics of essay writing\, reading and writing strategies and approaches to social justice teaching in elementary and middle grades classrooms. \; In th is three-hour workshop\, participants will have a chance to write\, colla borate and plan their own lessons.Credit option: This workshop is part of the "Rethinking Schools Series (https://graduate.lclark.edu/live/news/17 252-20122013-workshop-series-credit-options)".
