Discuss how stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and scapegoating are harmful. Work in groups of three to four. Read the Prejudice Situation Cards. Draw one of the cards and read it to the group. The group then fills in the first box on the handout, identifying the act involved and how it harms the people in the situation. When the group is satisfied with its responses to the first situation, a second student draws another card and the process is repeated. The group keeps drawing cards until the handout is filled in completely.
