Ways to Enhance Learning at Home:
-
Discuss what it means to be a voice for the voiceless.
-
Read aloud, silently, or together as a family. -
Discuss obstacles that can get in the way of standing up for others
-
Think of the many people, places and things that struggle to find their voice: endangered species, the rainforest, homeless families, the bullied child, etc.
