What does 'community' mean to you? Think about the people, places, and connections that matter How would you feel if your community was suddenly disrupted? Share your initial thoughts with a partner
Setting the Context
'The raids created fear and mistrust that rippled through entire communities, affecting not just those directly targeted, but families, friends, and neighbours who witnessed the trauma.' - Historical testimony

Discussion Preparation
Before we begin group discussions, consider: How might these impacts connect to issues in today's society? What personal or community connections can you make? How can we discuss these sensitive topics with empathy and respect?
Group Discussion: Making Connections
Groups of 4-5 students Use sentence stems to guide discussion: 'I feel that...' 'This relates to my community because...' 'A broader societal implication is...' 15 minutes for discussion, then sharing
