Q2 Addressing Inequalities, Then and Now
Driving Question (DQ)
How can you use your learning about 19th century inequalities to address 21st century inequalities happening in Tempe to Tempe City Leadership?
Project Description
What inequalities have you or someone close to you experienced in the last week, the last year or in your lifetime? Most likely there is something that you or someone close to you has experienced different levels of this unfair treatment no matter where you have been.
Being treated unfairly by someone or by our government institutions is not new. People have been advocating and fighting for equality and justice throughout our country's history in order to have the lived experience match the ideals found in our founding documents.
As we are learning about these inequalities
In this project, students will be asked to identify and call out the inequalities that we will see throughout American history in the 19th century. Learning about the historical inequalities will help us identify the 21st century version of those inequalities that we are currently experiencing.
Our young people will have to grapple with the task of how they would attempt to resolve those inequalities from happening in our communities and present their case to local leaders.
