Little Stones is an award-winning documentary following four women making positive changes in their communities through art. The documentary’s team also joined up with the University of Michigan School of Education to create a Take Action! toolkit to help educators bring social justice to their own classrooms. This includes lessons surrounding the documentary itself (focused on Gender-based violence), as well as two workshops on Graphic Design (p. 119) and Spoken-Word Poetry (p. 126). The toolkit has many valuable media literacy activities, such as an analysis of infographics (Lesson 3, p. 45-48) and lyrics (Lesson 7, 95-108). Overall, this is a solid resource on its own, but also has the potential of being used as a reference for developing Anti-Racist and Indigenous art and media lessons.
This could be a great resource for discussions about MMIWG2S, as well as intersectionality. Thanks for sharing!
