James Monteiro created a single subject lesson plan for a history class at KPS. The lesson, titled "A day in the life of an oppressed citizen," aims to show students how citizens were discriminated against in the 1960s by separating the class randomly into two groups - one receiving new colored pencils and paper while the other received old materials - and having them complete a drawing activity. Afterward, Monteiro will discuss with the full class how segregation and discrimination based on factors outside of one's control impacted America.
