Today we read an article about gay high schools. In some parts of the country, GLBT (gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender) high schools are being created to avoid the bullying that the students experience. This is a controversial issue.
The article can be found at this link:
http://www.tolerance.org/magazine/number-37-spring-2010/homo-high
(Or, you could type "homo high teaching tolerance" into a Google search.)
Students completed a worksheet based upon the article.
Finally, students had to do pre-writing based upon the following prompt:
"Imagine that a gay-friendly high school is proposed for Liberty County. Would you support this idea? Why or why not?
Write a letter to the school board telling them what you think they should do."
STUDENTS ONLY HAVE TO PRE-WRITE. I WILL GIVE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ESSAY WRITING TOMORROW.
