Lynn Carter
These activities are the result of two eighth grade teachers working together to achieve an integrated approach to teaching tolerance to eighth graders who are confronted daily with diversity issues. Lynn Carter, an eighth grade Language Arts National Board Certified teacher, and Hilda Hamilton, an eighth grade Math/Science National Board Certified Generalist, used a glorious week at NCCAT to create these lessons. They both teach at Rugby Middle School in Hendersonville, Henderson County Public Schools, North Carolina. In addition to school, they each have two children, all of whom are in or are products of the public schools. Their husbands are very tolerant of the diverse nature of their profession.

- Differences across the curriculum: Part 2
- This set of lessons can be used with "Differences across the curriculum: Part 1" as an integrated approach to exploring diversity with eighth graders. The unit will revolve around the use of the drama version of "The Diary of Anne Frank." Students will learn how diversity creates bias, which leads to conflict, where students confront their bias and practice tolerance. These parts reflect the four core curricula in an interwoven approach to teaching students to confront their biases, learn tolerance, and infer the impact of these on today's society. This activity, Part 2, is meant to augment the pre-reading activities completed in Part 1 in a Social Studies class.
