“A Class Divided” Due: _________________ Name: __________________________ Prejudice on display in the classroom (A word of advice – do not wait until a day before this is due to begin.) Neede ... d: Textbook or a PDF version of David Myers Psychology Topic: One day in 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third-grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination. This is the story of that lesson, its lasting impact on the children, and its enduring power thirty years later. Procedure: 1. Read pages in your textbook to understand the roots of prejudice and discrimination. 2. Identify each of the concepts listed below while completing the reading. Do not be satisfied with definitions only. Include additional information such as examples from your reading. These key ideas for each topic, will demonstrate your understanding of the concept. 3. Complete the questions after the chart. Stereotypes: A widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. Discuss 3 specific, different examples in which Mrs. Elliott established stereotypes among the children. Clearly demonstrate how they are stereotypes, according to the text.  “We don’t treat black people like our brothers, they are n--.” This is a stereotype, as the children believe that black people are not even part of the human race because of their skin color. It’s an oversimplified image since that is what the [white] society views them as, which is fixed upon the reasoning because they’re “different”.  “Red skinned, yellow skinned, dark skinned.” This is a stereotype that we refer to race using our skin colors, although not completely accurate it’s a fixated image or stereotype that everyone had gotten around to. Around the classroom, we can hear the children refer to people like this constantly, instead of saying “Native Americans”, or “Asian-Americans”, they refer to the overused term of “red”, “yellow”.  “They [POC] don’t get a say in this world because they’re colored.” This is an overused stereotype, as there’s also no scientific reasoning for this, it’s just a social norm that used to happen a lot, and it became accepted due to the majority of white people using that social norm [Show More]
