Social Justice
I have learned a great deal over the last two class periods. I really enjoyed your group teach and gained a lot of new information in the process. I saw all kinds of stereotypes in the past two classes. Gender, ethnicity, and cultural stereotypes were among some of the most obvious ones. I really enjoyed looking at commericals, as well as the Disney movies to see how children are perceiving things. The lessons and ideas they are getting from these sources is inaccurate and damaging. Children are coming into our classrooms with the idea that these stereotypes are correct. We must work to inform them of the truth and put these stereotypes to rest.

Even beyond discussions of stereotypes and purposeful lessons that ask us to examine the media, we will confront these issues in our classrooms, simply through the nature of the literature we teach. It's good to go into these lessons with a plan of action in mind. How will we help our students confront and questions these issues?
