A major goal in secondary education is social justice. Based on Cummins' framework for the empowerment of minority students, a bilingual curriculum centered persuasive writing was designed and implemented, encouraging the analysis of literature and social justice. The curriculum provides students the opportunity to read about deaf characters, study discrimination, analyze persuasion in the news, as well as participate in Writer's Workshop and the bilingual writing process.
