Words That Wound Lesson Plan

Students will understand the emotional and social impact of racial slurs and develop strategies to avoid using them, fostering empathy, respect, and responsible decision-making (ASCA PS:A2, PS:C1).

Racial slurs inflict harm and perpetuate bias. This lesson empowers students to recognize the power of language, cultivate empathy, and commit to respectful communication, creating a safer, more inclusive community.
