Group Teach

Over the past two days we have discussed stereotypes in the classroom, media and global consciousness. We have discussed the prejudice students face in their classrooms. We have seen how minority groups have been misrepresented and degraded by large companies like Disney. We have witnessed the subtle attacks and demographic targeting done by advertising agencies. Now how can we use this information to create more social imagination in our classrooms? What activities from the past two days were useful in deconstructing stereotypes? How can we open students' minds and broaden their world view?
