Key Stage 3
In this lesson, students will explore the meaning and origins of the word ‘race’. Students will begin to consider the ways in which the invention of ‘race’ has caused harm and continues to cause harm, and why it is important for us to educate on ‘race’ and racism.
In this lesson, students broaden their understanding of racism. Students will be able to identify different types of racism and be able to explain why talking about ‘race’ and racism is so important.
In this lesson, students will consider what it means to be ‘anti-racist’. Students will be able to identify actions that are anti-racist and will be able to provide examples of their own.
In this lesson, students will develop their understanding of what ‘systemic racism’ is, exploring the impact systemic racism may have on the lives of Black people and people of colour. Students are empowered to consider the ways in which they can challenge the forces of racism.
In this lesson, students learn about ‘unconscious bias’, considering the ways in which the messages we receive from society around us can sometimes lead us to stereotype and hold false beliefs about groups of people. We look at how and why racial bias causes harm.
Drawing upon all of the knowledge gained so far, students build upon the work started in Lesson 3, considering what it means for us to anti-racist. Students will understand why the work of anti-racism is so important, and why anti-racism is everyone’s responsibility.
In this lesson, students will explore the issue of media representation. Students will consider the ways in which both a lack of representation and misrepresentation can cause harm, negatively affecting how we see ourselves and others.
In this final lesson of the scheme, students consider the ways in which racial socialisation (e.g. media representation) has contributed to the creation and spread of ‘racial myths’. Students (and teachers) consider what they can do as anti-racists to challenge myths about the histories of Black people and people of colour.
