Watch the videoWatch the video linked below showing Jane Elliot’s 3rd grade classroom exercise in the late 1960’s, and her reunion with the students in 1984. After watching the video, please provide your reactions to it, relating what you read to the text and to your own experiences.

Consider answering the following questions in your post:

What stood out to you, or surprised you, about this exercise?

Do you think that the effects would be the same today? Would it vary by location?

Have you ever witnessed behaviors such as these (of the favored and/or disfavored group), in children, adults, yourself, and/or others?

Also think about the techniques Jane Elliot used to facilitate stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination. What did she do? Have you ever seen those techniques used by others (think about people you know personally in addition to those you’ve seen/heard in the media)?
