Exploring <strong>Equality</strong><br />

What does equality in society mean<br />

in practice?<br />

Learning Intentions<br />

Students will look at concrete<br />

examples <strong>of</strong> where people are<br />

treated the same or differently<br />

in society<br />

Students will recognise the<br />

complexity <strong>of</strong> society's<br />

responses to diversity.<br />

Resources<br />

<br />

Copies <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Equality</strong> or<br />

Inequality? worksheet on<br />

pages 56-57. You will need one<br />

for each student.<br />

Activity one<br />

Equal or Not?<br />

Give each group a copy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Equality</strong> or Inequality?<br />

worksheet <strong>and</strong> ask them to discuss each <strong>of</strong> the examples<br />

given using the questions on the sheet.<br />

When the groups have finished the discussion, ask each<br />

group to present their thinking on two <strong>of</strong> the examples.<br />

Finally, ask each group to think about the last two classes<br />

<strong>and</strong> to come up with a statement about what equality<br />

means. This can be one sentence or several. If there is not<br />

enough time to do this during class, it could be done for<br />

homework <strong>and</strong> shared at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the next class by<br />

putting up the statements on the wall.<br />
