Prejudice

//Post information, ideas, and materials for a unit on prejudice and stereotyping here.//

Students read and listen to poems, read children’s books, and other materials (such as excerpts from King’s speech in Spanish) related to this topic around Martin Luther King Day. There are also many excellent suggestions for teaching this topic in the FLTEACH archives. Sample resources might include:

[|Colors Magazine (Benetton)] - Fantastic magazine, available in MULTIPLE languages, with themed issues that address social issues through the lens of multiple, cultural perspectives using provocative images. MUST be previewed before classroom use as many images are not appropriate for use with students. The back issue on prejudice was particularly good.
