Mendez v. Westminster: Separate is not Equal

  • Activity, Document, Handout, Interview Questions, Lesson Plan, Primary Source Document, Research Project, Video
In this lesson plan, students will delve into understanding the social and academic ramifications of Mexican school segregation in the Southwest. They will use Internet and class resources to research the Mendez v. Westminster 1945 court case and craft pertinent questions for guest speakers or family members. Through this process, they will differentiate between primary and secondary sources, critically evaluate the information gathered, and effectively employ it in their arguments. Students will then present persuasive viewpoints, supported by facts, figures, handouts, readings, videos, recordings and personal research. Additionally, they will engage in creative writing by crafting personal pieces, such as diary entries, from the perspective of their assigned character within the group.
