Overview
Unit Name: The Power of Voice and Collective Action: The Delano Grape Strike of 1965
Teacher: Yonsoo Kang_________________________
Subject: American History______________________ Grade: 10th Grade__
Briefly give a narrative overview of the learning unit:
Students will begin exploring and reflecting on their personal identities and how their experiences have shaped who they are today. Cultural and
personal identities will be acknowledged, which sets the foundation to see a classroom as a form of community. Students will have the opportunity
to create their environment, expectations, and norms through a community agreement. The goals are to create safety and structure, a sense of
belonging and self-worth, and encourage self-responsibility.
A community agreement that is consistently upheld will promote ownership of the classroom space and potentially provide a stable foundation to
learn. To connect the past to the present, students will learn about the Delano Grape Strike of 1965 as a means to understand the values of cross-
racial cooperation, solidarity, diversity, justice, and collective action. They will examine the Strikes principle organizers, migrant labor
conditions, and the challenges the different groups faced in their quest of equitable rights. Students will learn and demonstrate critical thinking
skills to propose a plan to change something they care about.
