Breaking Down Stereotypes and Prejudices Activity

Are you teaching The Outsiders, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Hate U Give, Dear Martin, or any other powerful novel that explores themes of racism, prejudice, discrimination, tolerance, and social justice? Whether you’re an English Language Arts teacher diving into literature or a History teacher covering civil rights, equity, and cultural understanding, this interactive social experiment is the perfect addition to your classroom toolkit and breaking down stereotypes and prejudices.

This engaging classroom activity challenges students to reflect on how stereotypes and biases impact our society and influence how we view others—in schools, communities, and the workplace. It’s a powerful way to connect literature to real-world issues and foster meaningful discussions about diversity, inclusion, and empathy.

Use this activity as a:

• Pre-reading or post-reading companion for novels dealing with racial inequality and social injustice
• Critical thinking exercise during Black History Month, MLK Day, or social studies units
• Social-emotional learning (SEL) tool to build empathy and awareness
• Discussion starter for advisory periods, morning meetings, or debate prep

Your students will leave this breaking down stereotypes and prejudices activity with a deeper understanding of the impact of prejudice and racism and the importance of educating ourselves to create a more just society.
