BrainPop has created an excellent animated video that explains the protests for Black Lives Matter. It is accompanied by a blog post that offers tips for discussing related topics with young people, and a video discussion guide. This is a fairly recent addition to the BrainPop archives, as it refers to the death of George Floyd and other current events. You may prefer to read quickly through the transcript instead of watching the video to determine if it is appropriate for your target audience.
This post is part of a weekly Black Lives Matter series that I have vowed to include on this blog. Here are the previous posts:
- 21-Day Challenge
- When Your “President” Says “Kung Flu”
- Bias
- Texts for Talking About Race
- I Don’t See Color
