▬▬▬▬▬▬ Course Information▬▬▬▬▬▬ Social justice advocates hope to build a society in which individuals have equal access to resources and receive equitable treatment regardless of their race, gender, religion, sexuality, income level, or disability. Social justice classes can also use activist strategies such as social media campaigns, demonstrations, and activities to raise awareness of an issue and build support for positive change. They will reflect and brainstorm upon how their actions have the potential to evoke social change. Future Class: There will be a civic action class offered as a follow up to this class to share what they did for a civic challenge! ▬▬▬▬▬▬ How will the class be taught?▬▬▬▬▬▬ -Class is taught live by video with me for 60 minutes -This lesson will include real-life examples, videos, an interactive application activity, and an optional extension activity on civic engagement. -They will be able to interact with me during the entire lesson with the game, lesson, and activities. They will play a Kahoot game to review important concepts at the end of each lesson! -My teaching style is engaging and interactive. -This class is taught with no violence and non-partisan. -This will be one of the fastest, interactive, and most useful class you will ever take -No prior background knowledge is needed. Wow! That is a lot to cover in not much time. The class will make you more civically responsible and engaged!
