• Who is in your family? Does family only mean the people who live in your home? Who are the grown-ups that take care of you?

• Who are the members of your family? What roles does each family member have?

• How can we learn from people who have families that are different than ours?

This is a series of lessons from the Learning for Justice website- “Family Tapestry.” One goal of these lessons is to help students recognize and accept differences among themselves and within the larger community. Another is to recognize how each student’s unique family contributes to a richer society. As students begin to understand themselves better, learning opportunities will likely emerge to explore biases and prejudices. In this introductory lesson, students explore the definition of family, learn about different kinds of family structures and explore what makes their own family unique. https://www.learningforjustice.org/
