Background Info *Introductions *Development of project and research questions *East Hartford High School *Unit Structure/Themes (Perceptions; Culture; Stereotypes; Equity; Othering; Personal Connections; Authority/Authenticity; Classroom Use) *Books/Authors

Concentric Circles Each partner has two minutes to respond to the question! Then, the inner circle will rotate clockwise to get a new partner.

Concentric Circles Question 1 How comfortable do you feel talking about religions and cultures outside of your own? Why?

Concentric Circles Question 2 What do you know (or think you know) about the Islamic culture? Where does this information come from?

Concentric Circles Question 3 How do you think people in your own community feel about the Islamic culture, and how can you tell?

Concentric Circles Question 4 What questions do you have about the Islamic culture? What is something you’d like to learn more about?

Facts of Five... Part I: Independently, list five thoughts/responses/answers to the question. QUESTION: In what ways do you experience or witness stereotyping in your own life?

Facts of Five Part 2 With a partner, discuss your list from Part I, and list the five points you both feel are the strongest. Please note: you may combine/change/reword your thoughts from Part I as you create your new list.

Facts of Five Part 3 Combine with another pair. With your small group, discuss your list from Part II, and list the five points you all feel are the strongest. Please note: you may combine/change/reword your thoughts from Part II as you create your new list.

Facts of Five Share Out Have one person from each group share out your final five list! We will decide as a whole group our top five. Group Final Five: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
