    This lesson plan aims to challenge students' understandings of citizenship through discussions and audiovisual materials. Students will: 1. Create a word web to discuss their initial conceptions of citizenship and how it can both include and exclude groups. 2. Analyze video clips showing how citizenship defines insiders and outsiders. They will discuss whether the rules of citizenship guarantee social inclusion. 3. Reflect on how citizenship shapes identities and experiences, as explored through a student poem expressing feelings of marginalization. The goal is for students to develop more complex views of citizenship.
