How it Works
This practice can be utilized in 130/140 English. It is a good way to introduce
stereotypes.
Steps:
- Give learners a sheet with 8 different pictures of “faces”
for them to examine.
- Give learners a sheet with a list of “occupations” that match
the photographs.
- Have learners try to guess which face matches with which occupation.
- As a class, discuss each picture and have learners reveal reasons behind
their matching.
- Introduce the concept of “stereotypes” with a clear definition.
