I love, love, love these three videos. The first one is really sad, the second is hilarious, and the third is amazing and very thought provoking.
I have used the first video, "Ms. South Carolina" on the first day of class to introduce the importance of studying Geography (and public speech, for that matter).
I have not used the second video "What kind of Asian are you" yet, I just discovered it this summer, but when we learn about Asia, I teach a lesson about cultural awareness and stereotypes.
The final video, "The Single Story", I use in both my geography class and my psychology class to address stereotypes.
You've chosen an interesting mix of videos! All of them can be powerful learning tools. What a way for Miss Teen South Carolina to be known! Your second video made me laugh out loud! Your last choice is wonderful for introducing a great discussion about stereotypes. Thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteAngela,
ReplyDeleteI like the range of emotions that they all invoke, embarrassment, humor, shame in some cases. All of them make me stop and think, "Do I do that?" Thanks for your feedback.
