Concepts
Instructional Ideas
- Expand the debriefing of the role-playing exercise to ensure that all participants feel safe
- Instructors must provide the pictures of well-known, currently popular stars from film or TV
- Remind volunteers not to touch or look into the bags
- Have groups investigate actors who left the industry due to being typecast
Classroom Considerations
- The stereotype activity has the potential to devolve; a protocol must be in place to ensure a safe, respectful discussion of sensitive issues
- Second of five lessons in the "Resolving Conflicts Module"
- Check the "Materials Needed" list for required items not usually found in the classroom
Pros
- The packet includes an assessment and lesson extensions
Cons
- Not enough attention is given to the debriefing of the stereotype activity; observe closely pupils who seem distressed and be prepared to provide support
