Assignment
For this task you will reflect on what you learned about your own feelings toward prejudice, and from your readings in the text, and the films you viewed. Then, you will design an educational intervention to defuse prejudice in your local high school.
The intervention could be delivered at a school assembly or as a unit in a high school advisory program. Notice the particular racial and ethnic tensions that exist in the school you select, and then choose the appropriate material.
Prepare a package of material that you would give to the school counselors for their implementation of the intervention. Your package should include:
A handout that explains the impact of racism in schools and on the mental health of students. The handout should also include suggestions for creating an inclusive school environment.
An annotated list of at least five resources that the school counselor could use to deal with prejudice and its impact at the school. The annotated list should include the name and author of the resource, type of resource (article, film, etc.), where to access it, and a short description of the resource.
Length: Handout(2-3 pages); Annotated list (1-2 pages)
