​Hello everyone,

In Grade 6 Social Studies we are investigating stereotypes, bias, prejudice, and discrimination, as well as the impact these have on the lives of others. Stereotypes are untrue, generalized statements about a group of people based on some part of their identity. Really, stereotypes are just another form of myth. 

I have asked our students to help Bliss Carman "bust" some of these myths by creating a poster or short speech on a school-appropriate stereotype of their choice. By "school-appropriate" I mean that they are not to use profanity, slurs, or explicit images in their creations.

I have attached the project guidelines to this message for you and your child to reference if needed. 

This project is due Thursday, Dec 12th. 

​As always, feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions at katlin.copeland@nbed.nb.ca

Sincerely,

Ms. Copeland
