Our 4th grade texts are a diverse collection of characters and topics. There are privileged, oppressed, wealthy, poor, disadvantaged, and culturally diverse characters that the students learn about. Our third module focuses on the idea of fighting for what you believe in and why perspective influences beliefs and actions. The students get a good idea of why people act because of a belief. We also compare different cultures in module four. Students see that different cultures believe similar things and have similar values despite their diversity. The themes and essential questions of our curriculum bring about excellent conversations that can bring light to marginalized or targeted groups.
