Dealing with Stereotypes While Growing Up - S3 E6

<p><strong>Stereotypes: generalizations based on a group in which a person belongs. (Ex: race, age, gender, income, neighborhood, etc.)</strong></p> <p>This week's 8th grade hosts mix it up a bit, as Tami and Naomi partner up to interview classmates Anya and Aria. The four teens take on the repeating topic of stereotypes in middle school and in life. This is always a much needed conversation since even year-to-year. They bring up gender, race, and even sexuality a bit, talking through unfair perceptions of people, the influence from society and media, generalizations and home life, and just a bit about the "-isms" of prejudice: racism, sexism, and ageism.</p> <p><strong>RESOURCES:</strong><br> <a href="https://www.tolerance.org/classroom-resources/tolerance-lessons/what-are-gender-stereotypes">Gender Stereotypes </a>from Teaching Tolerance<br> <a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/katz-braly.html">Racial Stereotypes</a> from Simply Psychology<br> <a href="https://nwlc.org/issue/breaking-stereotypes/">Breaking Stereotypes</a> from National Women's Law Center<br> <a href="https://www.middleweb.com/7776/students-reject-stereotypes/">How Middle School Kids Reject Stereotypes</a> from MiddleWeb<br> <a href="https://www.edutopia.org/blog/5-minute-film-festival-talking-about-race-and-stereotypes">Talking About Race &amp; Stereotypes in School</a> from Edutopia</p> <p>Tune in next week as our other two hosts, David and Zoie, take over with a new topic and a new set of guests.
