Just Because I Am… poetry lesson

Amazing poetry lesson!
• Just because I am quiet, doesn’t mean that I have nothing to say.
• Just because I am an immigrant, doesn’t mean that I don’t speak the same language as you.
• Just because I wear a hijab, doesn’t mean that I am not a feminist.

“Sometimes, people might assume that everyone in a particular identity group shares the same traits. This is called a “stereotype”. In reality, there are many individual differences among members of a group. It is important to actually get to know people as individuals who have their own dreams, values, experiences, and personality. We all deserve to be known, valued, and accepted for who we are.”

• When we make assumptions about someone’s identity, how might this affect our behavior towards them?
• How do you feel when you think about people making assumptions about you based on your appearance? How does this impact the way that you see and express yourself?
• Imagine meeting someone new - what are some ways that you could get to know them?
