AppendicesAppendices Appendices Appendix A: Learning Resources This appendix is provided to help teachers in selecting resources to support the teaching of diversity and social justice in the classroom. The list contains some resources appropriate for teacher use, some for student use, and some for both. It is provided as a starting point only, and is by no means intended to be exhaustive or prescriptive. Note that grade-level designations for these texts are suggestions only, and many can be applied at younger or older grades for different contexts and purposes (e.g., a children’s storybook can be used at the secondary level to examine how value lessons can be presented in a simple way). In addition, a text that is recommended for one subject area can be used in other subjects (e.g., a social studies text can be used as the basis for drama explorations). Texts that are designated as recommended as part of a particular Grade Collection are designated with the following icon: This list does not include any of the resources recommended for Social Justice 12, as any of those resources can be adapted for use in other subjects and grades. Please refer to the Social Justice 12 grade collection for a full listing and description of those recommended resources. Note that Grade Collections are subject to change. Please check the ministry web site for the most current list of recommended learning resources in the Grade Collections for each IRP: www.bced.gov.bc.ca/irp_resources/lr/resource/gradcoll.htm. Teachers are reminded that any text not included in a ministry grade collection is subject to evaluation and approval through a local, board/authority-approved process. Teachers should use particular caution when selecting novels, poems, plays, and short stories. Because these texts often deal with the experiences of people who have faced various forms of social injustice, they may contain language and images that are difficult to read or hear (e.g., violence and abuse, sexual exploitation, experiences of racism, substance abuse, the residential school experience, criticisms of Christianity and church practices). This caution holds true for many texts that have long been studied in secondary school English classes (e.g., various Shakespeare works, The Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Crucible) as well as for more recent works (e.g., The Handmaid’s Tale, Monkey Beach, The Jade Peony).
