Bias and Stereotypes

I'd like to create a project in which students learn to recognize bias and stereotypes.  The collaborative element would be a wiki where people contribute personal experiences and examples of bias and stereotyping in their local media.  We also have the possibility of creating a mini-documentary using pictures and videos from all participants.

 

My students will be in 7th grade (ages 11-12), but we'd enjoy working with anyone in the 10-14 year age range.  

 

I'd like to start the project in October 2011.  Please reply or send me a message if you'd like to join!

  • Hi Amanda! I'm a teacher-librarian in a grades 5-6 MS in New Jersey. I'm sure we would have 1 or 2 6th grade classes that would be willing to collaborate. Let me know your thoughts. Deb
