Stereotypes Activity
Now that you understand the differences, we’re going to work on identifying what stereotypes we are carrying around with us about different classes--ultimately, we hope to be able to make generalizations, but we probably don’t have the data for that yet. By examining and making visible these stereotypes, we will start to understand how we mentally define and categorize people- making stereotypes visible is the first step to combating them.To make this simple, we’re going to do this on only 4 classes: Lower Class, Working Class, Middle Class, and Upper Class.
Exit Ticket- Choose one of the questions from your discussion to answer on an index card. Write me at LEAST 5 sentences in response to the question. Close: We have now purged! Our task for the rest of this project is to take these stereotypes, and figure out which can made into more accurate generalizations, which need to be thrown out, and ultimately to explore WHY these perceptions exist.
