What do teens think?: Racism from the lens of students (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781312521490)

Writing from student perspectives: this project took place within the Race & Ethnic studies elective class at Renaissance High School for Musical Theater & the Arts. These students worked fervently by writing an original version of their understanding about racism, and how it affects the world today. They were exposed to many controversial topics such as racial inequalities, BLM, BIPOC stories, and the Tulsa Massacre just to name a few. Many students found their voices, worked diligently on creating their personal plan of action against racism, and others were challenged with navigating self expression. All in all this experience allowed many students to become uncomfortable and as a high school teacher that is a small victory. Unfamiliar topics allow for more student centered learning, and peer led discussions around unconventional topics that promote critical thinking. These student stories from their lens are clever, witty, and authentic. Thank you for this experience and opportunity, it has been a learning process.
