Beyond Aladdin Unit Plan

About the Resource

From the lesson overview by the Arab American National Museum:
"This lesson plan is created for elementary classrooms to use cartoons and film to discuss stereotyping, or ultimately, to talk about how it feels to have people say things about you that are not true. Teachers are given detailed instructions on teaching students to identify details and implications of media images of “bad guys” and “good guys” while specifically examining Arab characters. Also provided is a robust list of activities to help students understand different aspects of the Arab American community through food, games, language and more."
This unit could be as short as 2 days (if you do not watch the entire Aladdin movie), at least as long as 6 days, or anywhere in between. The unit plan offers lots of modifications to best meet your students.
AHTK note: the unit is written for K-5, so we have included standards for multiple grades in both social studies and literacy.
