Sí, Se Puede: Making a Difference, One Letter at a Time

  • Discussion Questions, Handout, Interview Questions, Lesson Plan, Map, Rubric
In this lesson, students read the book ¡Si, Se Puede!/Yes, We Can!: Janitor Strike in L.A., and discuss unions, strikes and organizing for change. Students then develop questions and interview a staff member in their school to learn about their daily work life. Students determine the criteria for effective letters and write letters to the editor advocating for fair wages and working environments (or another local, contemporary work-related issue). Students draft their letters, then peer review and revise them. Finally, they publish their letters using an online tool, and mail a copy to the newspaper, if desired.
