LESSON PLAN
The Problematic Use of Brownfacing in Film
by Quincy Young
Students will view examples of Brownface in film and use critical thinking skills to annotate a text about the issues of Brownface in the film West Side Story. Students will then produce a written reflection on why the use of Brownface in the 1961 film version of West Side story is problematic and
offer their opinion on why it perpetuates a negative stereotype of the Latinx community.
Includes options for distance learning delivery.
