The Cold Within

“. . . one of the great challenges to humanity is acknowledging and overcoming a natural tendency to think less of and discriminate against people who are different from us . . .” Launch an examination of competition and cooperation, of societal selfishness and civic duty, of discrimination and prejudice with a game that challenges participants to examine their assumptions. After debriefing the game, read and discuss Patrick Kinney’s poem, “The Cold Within,” a powerful story of the consequences of prejudice and selfishness. A richly detailed plan that deserves a place in your curriculum library.
