AAPI Heritage Month| Interactive Inquiry (KS3-KS4)

Empower your students to think critically this AAPI Heritage Month with an inquiry-based investigation. This “No Prep” resource moves beyond surface-level history to challenge the “Model Minority” myth through rigorous data analysis, primary sources, and historical evidence.

Students take on the role of investigators, navigating through three detailed “Case Files” to uncover the socio-economic realities and the powerful history of resistance within the AAPI community.

What’s Included:
Interactive PPT (Kiosk Mode): A branched investigation structure. Students must use on-screen buttons and links to find evidence, preventing them from simply skipping through the slides.

Student Investigation Log (3 Pages): A structured worksheet for documenting findings, comparing data sets, and writing critical reflections.

Teacher’s Guide & Mark Scheme: Includes detailed talking points, statistical breakdowns (identifying the poverty gap), and historical context for easy classroom delivery.

Key Learning Points:
The Model Minority Myth: Its political origins in 1966 and how it has been used to mask systemic inequality and poverty.

The 1965 Delano Grape Strike: The leadership of Larry Itliong and the vital intersectional solidarity between Filipino and Mexican farmworkers.

Data Literacy: Analysing real-world statistics to identify income inequality and debunking the idea of a “monolithic” community.
