Bringing Tolerance to Our Beaches (3 of 3)
grades:  Upper Elementary (3-5) 

Lesson Summary:

This lesson emphasizes the importance of respecting others and their opinions. Students will delve deeper into their understandings of friendship and compromise, and work on a collaborative project to apply what they have learned.

This lesson is part of a unit called "Teaching Tolerance" from www.LearningToGive.org, a resource that offers philanthropy education resources that teach giving and civic engagement. 

Unit Purpose:
This unit encourages students to think beyond themselves and to treat others with tolerance and respect. Using Biblical and Rabbinic texts as a basis, students explore appropriate ways to relate to others. Students will then focus on issues of discrimination and tolerance, both in fictional and non-fictional situations.

Focus questions: What does it mean to compromise? What does it mean to be a good friend? What does it mean to be tolerant of others?

The other lessons in this unit are:
Giving Is Getting
Tzedakah Begins At Home

  • relate to tolerance within a Biblical context 
  • define tolerance 
  • define discrimination 
  • apply the lesson of The Sneetches, by Dr. Seuss to present day situations 
  • speak out against discrimination in a letter to Congress

Be Inspired:The ideas included are offered as starting points as you and your students explore, discover and live the lessons. Be sure to elicit and encourage student and parent participation, consistently reinforcing the value being addressed. Allow lessons to authentically develop and change based on engagement and interests.
