Where's Your Flair?

My Students

My students are the first-ever at our school to enroll in an Ethnic Studies course! They are actively embracing the conceptual framework of studying various historically marginalized groups in US history at the national, state, and local, and even school-community level. As they are gaining more empathy and understanding, they are also developing a desire to extend their studies to take action.

The purpose of this project is to enable students to honor and celebrate diversity on campus by designing and creating informative buttons commemorating the various "heritage" months throughout the school year.

My students have been asked to create a school-wide celebration for next month's Native American Heritage Month, and they are excited about the possibility of doing even more!

My Project

My students are exploring challenging concepts (both theoretical and real) related to historical and current marginalization of "the other." As we consider the experiences of various ethnic groups, we are diving into their challenges, stories of resistance, and their contributions to literature, the arts, scientific and technical innovations, politics, and various forms of entertainment.

Buttons designed to communicate the ideas explored in our Ethnic Studies course will effectively allow my students to include the entire campus in their learning.

Custom-designed buttons will allow my students to express their learning creatively, and to distribute those expressions school-wide.

Finally, these button makers will essentially create a cumulative project as students will design buttons for each of the groups we study throughout the year.
