  2. One Word • Think of all the things that make you, you. • Write one word that fully defines everything that you are.

  4. Purpose • In this workshop, our purpose is to begin a dialogue that will define what stereotypes are and how they affect the students themselves and other individuals. The dialogue will help students become more aware of they're own ideas and how they are approaching others.

  5. Learning Outcomes • Students will learn and be able to define what a stereotype is. • Students will be able to answer for themselves whether or not stereotypes are positive or negative. • Students will develop a general awareness that will enable them to identify stereotypes and their effects.
