Project Equity: A Curriculum Supplement of Lessons on Sex Equity for Middle School Programs in Law-Related Education.
Malcolm, Dolores B.
To heighten student awareness about sex equity issues and to equip students with information for legal remedies are the goals of this curriculum guide. Each lesson in the unit contains objectives, materials, and procedures. The unit is divided into three sections, each with lessons appropriate for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade levels. Students are introduced to the unit through a sex equity awareness lesson designed to raise their consciousness about sex discrimination. Five lessons on the sixth grade level provide procedures to develop an understanding of Title IX and to recognize discrimination based on sex. Four seventh grade lessons have students challenge stereotypical thinking about equity issues and identify and apply problem solving steps to equity-related situations. Eighth graders learn about Title IX and its relationship to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act of 1983. The appendix includes discrimination laws and Title IX cases. References and a list of resource organizations are provided. (SM)
