Single Stories (UK)
Students examine the human behaviour of applying categories to people and things, gaining an understanding of 'single stories' and stereotypes.

Students learn a new concept, universe of obligation, and use it to analyse the ways that their society designates who is deserving of respect and protection.
The Weimar Republic (UK)
Students reflect on the idea of democracy as they analyse the politics, economics, and culture of Germany during the period of the Weimar Republic.
Youth in Nazi Germany (UK)

This mini-lesson uses our Free and Fair Elections explainer to help students reflect on the importance of elections, define the phrase “free and fair elections,” and learn about electoral systems in their region.
Understanding and Assessing the UK’s Democracy
Use this lesson to deepen students’ understanding of the concept of democracy, provide a framework for assessing a democracy’s health, and explore the strengths and weaknesses of the UK’s parliamentary democracy.
Connecting to the Past

Finding Your Voice
Students reflect on what "American" means to them and are introduced to the idea that the United States is the product of many individual voices and stories.

Identity and Labels
Students analyze a cartoon and a short video that prompt reflection on the ways we use labels, stereotypes, and assumptions to identify each other.
