Parent Guide > Gay Rights Movement
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Gay Rights Movement" by Britannica Kids.
In "Gay Rights Movement," Britannica Kids shares about the history of the LGBT community's fight for equal rights.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Community, Justice, Freedom & Equality, Prejudice & Discrimination, Resilience & Success, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How has America changed over time?", "How are communities formed?", "What is the importance of community?", "What is fair?", "What are the effects of prejudice?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do people create change?"
