This edited book provides ready-to-use engaging curriculum units
for an integrated approach to teaching English language arts and
U.S. history in grades 4-12. The purpose is to promote social
justice and activism while building critical literacies students
need in the 21st Century. Through implementing the curriculum units
in this book, teachers and students can challenge inequities and
promote activism. A central goal of this project is to represent
and empower marginalized students. The traditional curriculum
presents one view, one story as the only story, and one people as
the norm. This book intentionally centers the experiences of Black,
Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) and other marginalized
communities. In addition to expanding the curriculum to include all
people, educating students about issues of injustice in the U.S.
will enable them to enact change. Additionally, this book serves to
educate all students by exposure to central issues in past and
present society. By creating space for a multicultural perspective,
this curriculum may reduce the friction that occurs when
encountering those whose lived experiences and perspectives do not
align with one's own. By educating students about the privileges
they have not examined, teachers can foster empathy and empower
allies.
