Do Now: From the worksheet, select which proposals you think would be the most effective to disrupt your own stereotypical thinking.
Homework: 1) News article response. 2) Senior Project - Wikispace and Powerpoint.
Inquiry: Where does stereotypical thinking and perceptions come from? What do we do with them?
Objective: SWBAT decide on their own action plans and develop a draft of their own essay, poem, or narrative to explore and extend their thinking.
Agenda:
- Do now discussion.
- Students handed out their worksheets from the unit and asked to put them in order, make a cover page, and staple them.
- Students choose to write an essay (persuasive or expository), poem, or story that explores their own thinking on stereotypes and how it has developed. (What have you learned about stereotypes that changes the way you think and act in the world? How can you change others?)
