Introduction to Prejudice and Discrimination

An introductory lesson to prejudice and discrimination. Based on an old Channel 4 show, you introduce the students to 6 characters, asking them to eliminate somebody from winning £1million based on different criteria each round. The first round is based purely on appearance, followed by further sections such as job, family, view on testing on animals as well as other key factors. It is designed to make people recognise their own prejudices, and then question the importance for all information and not judging a book by its cover.

There are follow up activities that include
* recognising the influences on our prejudices
* reflecting on each person
* defining prejudice
* defining discrimination
* Quick look at Galatians 3:28
* Consideration of lyrics from songs about prejudice

* I designed this lesson on my teaching practice and it has been a staple of my teaching every year since, when used for inspection or performance management observations (it has been used for both and interview) it has always been rated as an excellent lesson.
