Making Assumptions
SecondaryYear 7 - 8Health and Physical EducationHealthSocialSocial and Emotional Learning
Lesson Summary
Students will explore how the assumptions and generalisations we make about others influence biases and the way we treat people. They will examine some of the factors that shape attitudes and judgments that lead to stereotyping. Students will be guided to challenge their own assumptions and engage in empathy-building activities to reflect on the effect of making generalisations and labelling. Students will finish the lesson by creating personal pledges to foster more respectful and inclusive communities.
