Teaching+for+Social+Justice

"A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn is a wonderful companion to any high school U.S. history course. He presents history through a social justice lens, giving readers access to the lesser known areas of history, that everyone should know to become more empathetic and understanding human beings in our global society.

For lesson plans from the Zinn Education Project, visit [|this website]. The website includes lesson plans, resources, and news, all using Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States." I have used many great role playing games from Bill Bigelow.

**[|EdChange: Critical Multicultural Pavilion]** A great resource for lessons on social justice. I particularly love the contemporary songs about classism and inequality, which my students really got into. There are also workshops, teacher resources, activities, quizzes, handouts, curriculum, speeches, songs, quotes, and links! It's a great site to check out!
