This week, we created two new lesson plans based on two outstanding Times pieces. The first lesson uses a recent Times interactive that looks at [how census categories for race and ethnicity have changed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnL9EFP4QSAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTEvMDgvbGVhcm5pbmcvbGVzc29uLXBsYW5zL2xlc3Nvbi1wbGFuLWFuLWFtZXJpY2FuLXB1enpsZS1maXR0aW5nLXJhY2UtaW4tYS1ib3guaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIzMTEwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDczNjcmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nLW5ldHdvcmsmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0OTYzNyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZUIFTE1l2PRqclIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) over the last 230 years in the United States. We invite students to consider what that might suggest about our country’s past and future. The second lesson, based on The Times Magazine’s “A Beginner’s Guide to Looking at the Universe,” encourages students to explore [how the James Webb Space Telescope is changing what we see](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnL9EFP4QWAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMTEvMDkvbGVhcm5pbmcvbGVzc29uLXBsYW5zL2xlc3Nvbi1wbGFuLWEtYmVnaW5uZXJzLWd1aWRlLXRvLWxvb2tpbmctYXQtdGhlLXVuaXZlcnNlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAyMzExMDkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA3MzY3Jm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNDk2MzcmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmVCBUxNZdj0anJSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~) in the cosmos.
