Instruction

Stage 1: Creation of a shared booklist
Choose a picture book that can be used as part of an anti-bias curriculum.
Add your book to the class shared booklist. Each book must be on the list only once.

Stage 2: Choose one book from the list
For the first task, you could choose any good book. This time, you are choosing a book that you could use as a part of an anti-bias curriculum.
Each person can only choose one book from the list. This part may be done in class - refer to lecturer instructions.
Identify the social justice issue that the book is relevant to.
Identify concepts and ideas from the unit that are relevant to that issue.

Stage 3: Written analysis for anti-bias curriculum
Write briefly about the book as an anti-bias text.
Explain which social justice issue it is relevant to.
Explain why that social justice issue matters, using concepts from the unit, and referencing these concepts.
Explain how the book addresses that issue.
Write this up in about 300 words
Use references from the unit and reference appropriately.

Stage 4: Invitation to Play
Use the anti-bias book you have chosen as a springboard to develop an invitation to play that can remind people of the book.
Refer to your lecturer for ideas about how the play invitation can connect to the book. It should be designed to remind children of the book, in some way that you can explain.
The invitation to play must allow for independent play by children without adult support. (Remember that the right to play is itself a social justice issue.)

You must physically create and document your invitation to play.

Document your invitation to play and submit to the Drop Box. Your documentation must include text, and images such as photographs you have taken yourself.

Submit the written components the Drop Box by Saturday of Week 2.
Be available to present and discuss your invitation to play with your lecturer as instructed.
