Healthy Bodies - Strong Minds

Healthy Bodies - Strong Minds
Weeks 7&8

Global Learning Intention:  We are learning about being healthy.

BIG IDEA: By keeping physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit, we are holistically looking after our HAUORA, (Health).

Big Questions for learning weeks 7&8:
What is a stereotype and how can it affect the way I think about myself and others?

Authentic Contexts:
Stereotypes
The way different cultures see beauty
Positive body image
The effect of the media on self perception
Profile photos
Photos from google. Use these if you want.
Pin the profile photos around the classroom. Divide students into eight groups and give each group several profile sheets from Copysheet: Profile. Allocate a starting photo for each group and allow them a set period of time to come up with a profile of that person. Each group then moves on to the next photo, until they have worked with all the photographs.
Completed profiles
Consider: How accurate were your profiles?
        What sort of things did you make mistakes about? (Age, hobbies ...)
        Why do you think your profiles weren’t always accurate?
        What information did you use to make your profiles? (The look of the person, what they were wearing, their culture, their age, what you think you know about people like that ...)
        Is this a fair thing to do? Why or why not?
        What should you do before you make decisions about what a person is like? (Really get to know them, find out about their personality, talk to them ...)
Create a list of the dangers of stereotyping people into categories.

Knowing and Respecting People
1.       Before I make a judgement about a person I should:   get to know them as everyone is fighting a battle that you don’t know about. It just like the saying don’t judge a book by its cover. Don’t judge someone by the way they look. Or their older sibling.


2.       It is unwise to stereotype people because: everyone is different. no one is the same. Stereotypes can mean and hurtful to some.  They can be rasic and sexics like how girls have to like makeup and dress but not sports. And boys have to like sports but not dramas and dance.



3.       We can make people in our school and community who we think are different feel
         welcome by letting them join in and treating the way that you would want to be treated.



4.       In future when I meet new people I will try to smile, as people reacted to other when they look happy better. I would want to be kind and caring
