Candidates will research an Ethnic Studies topic focusing on Communities of Color and one of the four themes of Ethnic Studies (Identity, Power & Oppression, History of Resistance & Liberation, and Action), subject to instructor approval. They will then create a presentation and simulated mini-lesson to conduct with on the last day of class. The presentation and simulation must include: (a) accurate and relevant information to teach fellow candidates about the topic; (b) an interactive instructional task simulating teaching this topic to students (peers will act as “students” in this assignment); and (c) a bibliography of sources used.
