Included in this lesson
A recommended selection from Rad American History A-Z by Kate Schatz and Miriam Klein Stahl
Recommended video resources
A thought-provoking discussion prompt
Zine-Making Activity- Make a zine in grand Riot Grrrl tradition! Zines were kind of like a pre-internet social media account- the people who made them could share thoughts, stories, poems, notes about things and people they loved, silly pictures, and more, all in one little collection. Zines can be about absolutely anything. We have provided a very silly template if kids are more in the mood to customize/color, but they could also start with a blank piece of paper and make a zine about anything they want! It could be many pages about one subject (like a favorite character or animal) or it could be a totally random collection of thoughts, comics, silly drawings, lists of things, and more. When you're done with a zine, you can make copies of it and give them away or sell them. The Salt Lake City Public Library has a zine vending machine where you can buy someone's homemade zine for 25 cents. The zine machine is so popular it has to be restocked every week!
