Wish I'd found this sooner...

Even though we're almost done teaching in Argentina, I'm sure some of you are not done with teaching.  I'm not!

I stumbled upon this website that's by a collective of "radical teachers" in NYC. Here's a page of lessons that can be used to integrate themes of social justice, discrimination, racism, and other subjects that can be difficult to teach, but are, in my opinion, relevant and necessary.

These lessons are very comprehensive and integrate different forms of media and are interdisciplinary in nature.  I think they're great for EFL or ESL because they address issues that are deeply embedded in US society and that some international students might not be so familiar with, although on the other hand maybe such lessons can help them make a connection between the US and their home country.  I hope you like it.
