Hidden Heroes Video Project
Welcome to the HIDDEN HEROES project. Through this hands-on, standards-based curriculum, youth will tell the stories of their communities through the heroes and leaders who live and work there.
We’ve created this Production Guide to help you implement the curriculum in your classroom or after school workshop. We’ll walk you through each of the steps, from identifying and interviewing the heroes to producing the final exhibit that will culminate the project. The structure of this Production Guide is geared towards in-class use for middle and high school students, and the lesson plans and activities can easily be adapted to an after school program.
Flipping The Script
Despite the compelling need to engage youth in discussions about Hip-Hop, many educators are hesitant, either because of potentially controversial content, or because they’re not sure how to integrate it into a standards-based framework. This guidebook and accompanying curriculum addresses both of these challenges; our goal is to demystify Hip-Hop and empower educators with relevant and compelling materials that they can use to connect with their students’ daily lives and culture.
As we piloted and developed this curriculum, it became clear that everyone has his/her own ideas about, and relationship with, Hip-Hop. We decided that our most effective contribution would be to create a framework that could facilitate a reexamination of those ideas and relationships – encouraging teachers and students to look at Hip-Hop in ways that they haven’t done before.
Don’t Forget To Show Off
