The Power of Words Curriculum
<http://www.tolerance.org/teach/web/power_of_words/index.jsp> 

The Power of Words curriculum is about the language that captures the
multiethnic temper of our times. Its lessons encourage us to explore the
words used in the United States to label ethnic groups, women, and sexual
minorities and to examine the ways in which these words reveal our nation's
social landscape. The Power of Words offers standards-based lesson plans for
use in language arts and social studies classrooms in grades 9-12. 
Many can be adapted for adult education.
