Take a point-of-view based on the "Critical Race Theory" Critical Lens modeled after Deborah Appleman's book Critical Encounters in High School English: Teaching Literary Theory to Adolescents.
Essential Question: How does this text illuminate or challenge the structures of racial inequity and power dynamics within society?
Central Concerns: The main areas to focus on would be systemic racism, institutional power, identity, intersectionality, and cultural representation. You should zero in on the ways race and racism affect social structures and individual experiences.
Critical Assumptions:
1.
Racism isn’t just an individual bias but a deeply ingrained societal issue that influences laws, policies, and practices.
2.
CRT assumes that race and racism are central to understanding societal issues, and it challenges the dominant narratives that might ignore these systemic inequalities.
3.
It also considers intersecting identities (like gender or class) and how these intersections amplify experiences of marginalization.
What to do:
1.
In applying these ideas work with a dynamic analysis of texts through how they engage with racial dynamics.
2.
This might involve creating scenarios where users can explore different perspectives—highlighting experiences of marginalized racial communities—or testing assumptions about race and systemic inequality.
3.
Bringing this interactive element could make critical theories more accessible and encourage active engagement with complex issues.
