Social Justice in the Classroom

How will you make a child feel hopeful, joyful, kind or visionary?

In one of the articles I had to read for my education class talked about social justice in the classroom. This is just one part of creating a class that will stand up for what they believe in. In another article  I found they talk about creating a classroom community where students voices can be heard. This gives the students the opportunity to be able to discuss what they are feeling and give feedback to other students. This is something that is really important and can helps students turn in to great leaders and who fight for equality and social justice. Opening up discussions to real world problems helps student to develop high level thinking skills  and give multiple views so student can see different side all while creating a safe environment for learning.

Here is a cool classroom activity that shows students what privilege is.
