Sometimes people have ideas about others based on how they look or where they come from. These ideas are called stereotypes (Sierksma et al., 2022).
+ Stereotypes
Collaborative Activity: "Breaking Stereotype Bubbles"
Objective: Encourage students to explore diversity, challenge stereotypes, and promote understanding.
Activity Setup:
Task:
Discussion:
Ask each group to draw a "bubble" on the paper and write inside it a stereotype they have heard about a particular culture or group. Then, instruct them to burst the bubble by drawing symbols or images around it that represent the positive and unique aspects of that culture.
Divide the class into small groups. Provide each group with a large sheet of paper and markers.
Have each group share their drawings with the class. Facilitate a discussion about why it's important to challenge stereotypes and appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of each culture (Sierksma et al., 2022).
Digital Tools/Resources:
BrainPOP Jr. (brainpop.com/jr): Utilize the resources on BrainPOP Jr. to introduce the concept of stereotypes through age-appropriate animated videos and interactive quizzes.
Storybird (storybird.com): Have students create digital storybooks that showcase positive and diverse characters, emphasizing that people are unique individuals beyond stereotypes (Eren, 2023).
Flipgrid (flipgrid.com): Create a Flipgrid where students can record short video responses sharing something unique or special about their own culture or family, fostering a sense of pride and understanding (Ogen, 2018).
Padlet (padlet.com): Create a collaborative Padlet where students can share pictures, drawings, or short descriptions of their own family traditions or cultural practices (Ogen, 2018)
Cultural Exchange Videos (e.g., YouTube Kids): Show short videos featuring children from different cultures sharing aspects of their daily lives, traditions, and celebrations. This helps students connect with real children and break stereotypes (Eren, 2023).
Assessment:
Group Presentation Rubric:
Individual Reflection:
Participation and Engagement:
Assess the group presentations based on creativity, collaboration, and the effectiveness of breaking stereotypes.
Ask students to write or draw a reflection on what they learned about stereotypes and diversity during the activity.
Observe and assess students' engagement during group activities, class discussions, and the use of digital tools like Kahoot during interactive quizzes.
Exit Ticket: Create a simple exit ticket asking students to write one thing they learned about breaking stereotypes and one way they can celebrate diversity in their daily lives.
