Location: USD Program Start at: 12:00 pm (12:00– 2:00 pm) First day Schedule Preparation Research for Field Trip 1 Description (cultural) A short film on discrimination and discussion on the various types of discrimination including: racism, sexism, ageism… Research will prepare students for the Museum of Tolerance, a multi-media museum that examines racism and prejudice in the United States, the world, and a strong focus on the history of the Holocaust. Assignment: The following activity will prepare students for the Museum trip by asking them to think of a time when they witnessed injustice. Students reflect on the following prompts and record their ideas on paper. Topical introduction by: SDSU Professor David Camper PhD of the Department of American Indian Studies. Prompt A: Think about a time when you were treated unjustly due to someone’s bias or prejudice about you, your actions or intentions. Briefly describe the event and the circumstances related to it. How did you feel? How did others react to you? How did you resolve the situation and your feelings about it? How do you think this event has affected the way you think about injustice or intolerance today? Prompt B: Think about a time that you witnessed the unjust, biased or prejudicial treatment of another person. Briefly describe the event and the circumstances related to it. How did the event affect the person targeted by the injustice? How did it affect the person responsible for the injustice? How did it affect you or other witnesses of the event? How do you think this event has influenced your present/future reactions to similar events? Discussion: consists of both historical and contemporary racism in the US and around the world; for example, we will look at how racism occurred during World War II in correlation with the Indian Wars of the late 1800's. Questions: What is justice and respect? What injustices are you committed to help reverse or end? How do we make a difference/create change? Finally, this past year a cooperative partnership by the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) Title VII Indian Education Program and the American Indian Recruitment (AIR) Program has offered an outreach to the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) Title VII Indian Education Program Indian students.
