In this lesson from the PBS KIDS series ARTHUR, students examine activism and how ordinary people can be part of powerful collective movements that bring change. Students watch “Arthur Takes a Stand” and discuss taking action against things they believe are unjust. They map out the characters’ actions, noting that multiple voices bring power and opportunities for change. Then they listen to a story about the reasons people protest and are introduced to important movements in our country’s history. Finally, they explore different ways people take action and brainstorm a list of issues in their own community that they would like to change.
