At the start of class:
This lesson's purpose is to give students an opportunity to put the theory of the Violence pyramid to the test. Not all events may have clear examples for every level of the pyramid, some students may push back on the theory - and that is okay. The unit first and foremost seeks to challenge students on accepting the status quo and to think critically about violence and how to prevent it. As long as students who take a different approach or arrive at a different solution can provide logic and reasoning to support their analysis, this meets the core learning objective of developing critical thinking about violence prevention.
