Understands what it means to generalize Understands what it means to marginalize Understand how this affects both communities and the classroom Materials & Resources: Computer connected projector to display prepared PowerPoint for class discussion. Also, have white board and white board markers handy if needed . Students are expected to come prepared with paper if they want to write down the discussion. Anticipatory Set: What do you define as an in-group? What do you define as an out-group? What are a few examples of each? Individually write down your opinion then discuss and compare your definition to others definitions in your table Students will write down their answers and then we will ask them to compare to those at their table and see what they come up with then discuss further.  

Purpose: “It is important to understand the meaning of generalization and marginalization, and how it may affect the classroom atmosphere. Input: Students know what it means to be in an in-group and in an out-group, as well as they know what it means to generalize (essentially stereotype) and many know the meaning of marginalization. We will ask students to give their own definition of each and ask them how it applies to the classroom atmosphere. Model: We will demonstrate skills through a PowerPoint in which we have the both the definition of generalization and marginalization. Check for Understanding: Ask students questions and continue discussing what in and out-groups are and what they meanings of generalization and marginalization are. Guided Practice: Students, in their table groups, will discuss questions given to them off the PowerPoint to better understand how each concept can be used in a classroom setting. Closure: We will ask students, “What are the main ideas that we discussed pertaining to generalization and marginalization?” have a few students answer. Then ask, “Do you think generalization and marginalization will ever cease to exist? Why or why not?” Have a few students answer. Closing Statement, “Generalization is something to be aware of with many students, just because kids are a part of a certain group or in the books case, a gang, it does not mean that they all are going to be a certain way, for they are all human.” And “Students may marginalize one another based on race, gender, or other ways and we as educators need to be understanding on an individual basis and make sure that we do not marginalize students ourselves.”
