Procedure:
1. Introduce the Black Lives Matter movement. This can be done through a fill-in-the-blank listening activity, pictures of Naomi Osaka’s masks, and/or other images or infographics.
2. Play the first video: 「どうやって勝てと?」 アメリカの黒人が怒る理由を「モノポリー」にたとえ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUP2YKu4CEk&fbclid=IwAR0sIAqsyl_niY2Zv0WlXLoqhaMDXBM3pQkGko5Rjeg-dBKQhZ7WtZM8K5g
3. Give students time to write down their thoughts on the video and talk to a partner about it.
4. Reiterate and expand on Kimberly Jones’ points about the history of slavery and the remaining legacy of racism in the U.S. (from the first video) with a PowerPoint presentation of additional images and translated vocabulary words.
5. Play the second video: 警察官との正しい接し方 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdhmxYNdmGU&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1PuylyQQZKrFmIzZf9vvy0s36I3rk52mY8iPn4BLUiVz_eC_-3fad-jPc

Travel・Culture・Holidays6. Emphasize that the video is from 2017, and that this has been a problem for a long
time. Give students time to write down their thoughts on the video and talk to a partner about it.
7. Show some notable Japanese social media responses to BLM. Give each student a Post-it to “tweet” a comment with the hashtag #BLM or #BlackLivesMatter.
8. Tell students to leave their Post-it “tweet” in the middle of their desks. Allow students to stand up and walk around to read other comments about BLM.
9. At the end, encourage students to read more about BLM and talk to their friends and family about it.
Student Work:
Black people should be treated [with] equality. People [are] not things. I hope white people think properly. #BLM
I hope [for] equality [in] the world. I think you must not discriminate against people by skin color. #BLM
Additional information:
● This is a lesson where the content mattered the most to me. Therefore, I did not
mind showing infographics in Japanese, students talking about the topic in Japanese with their peers, or writing some Japanese on their Post-its. Further, help from a JTE is integral in ensuring student understanding of this serious topic.
● The Post-it “tweets” and the “Twitter” gallery walk can be easily adapted to any
important issue, which will probably have an associated hashtag.
