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
