This booklet helps students to understand stereotypes and how they develop. After a short introduction, race and national identity are discussed in terms of the students own and how they consider others, where these perceptions lay or originate and whether they are biological or social.
Next, we investigate where we learn our stereotypes from and whether other aspects aside from race and national identity can be stereotyped. Whether or not these are always negative is questioned. Why we stereotype and is there ever an acceptable time to stereotype is explored.
Media influence, historical influence and recall and cognitive dissonance theory provide a platform for studying the effect authors, proximity of the reader, use of language and type and magnitude of event have on stereotyping.
The booklet concludes in the students writing and producing their own investigation into the closeness of the English and American cultures from introduction, aim and hypothesis, through to discussion, critical reflection, and conclusion.

Christmas seems to arrive earlier each year and become more frantic to-boot! I saw this idea a few months back and thought it could be a fun activity with a tutor group or clubs – Especially as my partner pointed out that so many advent calendars appear to have no reference to Christmas apart from the twenty-four little doors.
The idea is a fun and selfless way to celebrate the countdown to Christmas Day, giving us all time to pause and think about the season’s true and original meaning.
I have included twenty-four ideas of my own, however you may have some of your own personal ones to include. Your students may wish to make their own up as a class, in group or individually.

This unit helps students to explore what they and others believe and why. The difference between urban myths and conspiracy theories is discussed in conjunction with primary and secondary sources and their dependability. The students investigate a myth or theory of their own choosing, citing evidence for and against and considering the reliability of the evidence which helps to develop their debating skills. How we decide what we do and don’t believe is examined with the repercussions this can have in our everyday lives. The unit closes with the students inventing their own myth, theory or legend and creating a booklet advertising this to visitors to your town.

This unit of work begins by asking students to define religion and why they think people choose to follow them. The students complete a graph showing the percentages o religions in India and demonstrate what they believe they already know or understand of Hinduism.
The story of ‘A Mysterious Beast’ helps to illustrate the diversity of Hinduism through a jigsaw-tyle game and the structure of the Hindu gods is explained. Reincarnation, karma, medication and yoga are discussed in regard to how Hindus live their lives and how they believe it can affect life after death.
Hindus believe in ‘ashramas’ – the four stages of life every Hindu should go through. The students discuss when they think we enter each stage and what our responsibilities are at each stage, concluding with what they believe are the four important stages of their lives and a description of these.
The background and traditions of Diwali are introduced through the story of Rama and Sita which explains why the ‘Festival Of Lights’ is celebrated and why Divas - small clay lamps – are an important part of the celebration. The students discover cultural and religious festivals where light plays an important role and discuss why these similarities have arisen. The students are then given the opportunity to produce a collage or design a card depicting the beauty and wonderful colours of Diwali.
Pilgrimages are important across many cultures and religions, and many Hindus will travel to the River Ganges as part of theirs. The legend surrounding the goddess Ganga is told and the effects on the river from the many visitors and industrialisation of India is debated.
A range of individual and group activities are incorporated within this booklet, including, gathering research from print, drawing a story board, annotating their thoughts and ideas, drawing graphs, games and peer assessment.
