Students examine the definition of a stereotype, look at where stereotypes come from and complete a sheet on the current stereotypes that they may have. Through the use of this website, students have a better understanding of how stereotypes exist all around us and that everyone has some kind of stereotype that they can learn more about and, hopefully, change.I love that this web site helps kids learn more about stereotypes because if they grow up stereotyping others its going to make them in to a person they don't want to be.We should teach kids the positive side of stereotyping but when it comes to the negative they shouldn't no to much about it because you can really hurt people when u stereotype them.I think having this website was a good idea there should be more websites like this on the web so that we can be more educated on this subject.
I decided to add some more to my search this week as i was going through some websites i found this guy named David Scheider who wrote a book about stereotyping this book is called The Psychology of Stereotyping
Haynes, Kim. "Overcoming Stereotyping:." Websites for Students: May 6,2008
