Begin with scenario--you are at  beach with your family you see someone with bolt cutters and a hacksaw at a nice bike that is chained up--what would you do? What about race of person being other than white?




Discuss video


Focus on the personal--so often we look at history from an outsider’s perspective--our objective is to get you to be closer to the topic, to understand it from a more personal perspective--how might you have reacted (or wish you could). You can’t do that without knowing a bit about the topic so we are going to have to research and it is best if you choose a topic that interests you or moves you in some way.


Look at photos --choose topic based on the photo you like
