3. DUE: Group project - Lesson Plan #4 Design a Lesson using a Social Justice Theme. Design a single Lesson Plan in which you utilize a Social Justice theme applicable to your various classrooms. Here are some big themes you might think about: "equality," "fairness," "opportunity," "education opportunity," or "immigration."

Fill out the demographic info for yourself, but the rest could be generic for the group.

After you post your LMU Lesson Plan, do a self-evaluation of your Lesson Plan. I will also be providing feedback on your lesson plan via email.

Next Steps:
