Case Study - Peggy Dunn

Core Democratic Values: Diversity & Equality
Peggy Dunn designed instruction for her students that incorporated the concepts of diversity and equality into activities that spanned several days. Students explored various stations, and used a variety of media to learn about diversity and equality. Activities included hearing and discussing a story, interacting with primary sources on the Internet and on CD-ROM, watching and listening to a filmstrip, finally hearing and discussing an historical narrative, and then completing writing activities based on the narrative. Several of the station themes revolved around the life of Martin Luther King Jr.
