Aim: How can stereotyping and prejudice be harmful methods of approaching others who are different than us?

Do now: Imagine a world where people are either red, yellow, blue, green, purple or orange. . Respond to the statements on the board.

She acts that way because she is purple
The coach told him he couldn’t play because he is red
You know green people are only interested in making money
He’s blue so he’s a good runner
She didn’t get the job because she’s yellow
Oranges always get good grades because all they do is study

Notes:
Prejudice: making a judgment about a person or group of people without knowing things about them as individuals. People who are prejudice often stereotype others.

Stereotyping- judging someone based on personal prejudice, limited knowledge, biased viewpoints or assumptions. Expecting people to behave in a particular way because of classification is wrong.
