Activity #4 - Revisit the Hurricane Harvey Discussions
Activity #4: Revisit the Hurricane Harvey Discussions - Previously we had our students focus on how the storm did not discriminate when it hit Houston, and how we were stronger together during the hurricane crisis.
Lesson: Students will revisit the Hurricane Harvey topic and reflect on the recovery process. We could talk about how some issues divide us as a society, and how the storm brought us together. Students could create list of the pros and cons to working together and to being divided.
Activity: Students will be divided into groups that have one resource assigned to them. The groups will represent when society is divided. They will be asked to compete a task that requires the use of their groups resource, as well as resources assigned to the other groups. They will have to figure out that working together will get the job done faster than remaining divided.
Learning Intention: The students will learn about the different forms of discrimination and how it effects our society as a whole. They will be able to discuss the motives/intentions for both sides. (those who want to be divided and those that do not)
Success Criteria: Students will be able to form alliances with different groups to accomplish a common goal.
