[eMINTS] Teaching Tolerance Resourses

[Victoria Costley]

I have found the following resource to be of great help when talking about any type of tolerance issue:
 teachingtolerance.org
They have entire kits, lessons, posters, and more available for free to educators!
Hope this helps!

I am looking for any lesson ideas for a unit on racism and stereotyping in
a 6-8 "Teen Issues" class.  I am more wanting to focus on current events
and ideas, rather than on a simple history of the civil rights movement. 
My students seem to have trouble realizing that just because one or two
people from a minority ethnic group have done something negative to them
in the past, it doesn't mean that EVERY member of that group behaves in
that way.  These types of ideas are what I want to focus on.

Thank you very much!
