The Long Road to Justice curriculum is geared towards middle- and high-school
students. The heart of the curriculum materials is the "Teachers' Guide," written by Roberta Logan
and developed by Primary Source of
Watertown, MA. This manual contains an appropriate introduction to the subject matter and themes of the exhibit,
as well as student exercises and discussion questions for before, during, and after the students' visits. Some
exercises include: defining "justice," analyzing exhibit photographs and relevant poetry, and scavenger
hunts. We hope that ideas presented in the Sourcebook will assist teachers in introducing the material prior to
the students' visits and will serve to reinforce the material once the exhibit has been experienced.
