Reread the passage on page 36 about denial and “turning a blind eye.” Students reflect on a time in their life that they experienced this — a time they turned away from a social injustice when they could have done something, or a time someone could have helped them in a situation of social injustice but did not. Students write about the experience in a letter, poem, short story or personal essay. They should have the option of keeping their writing private.
