8th Grade Trip to the Museum of Tolerance

The eighth graders visited the Museum of Tolerance to deepen their understanding of perception. They learned about stereotypes, prejudices and the power of words. They also learned about how they can make a difference in our world. They will use the power of words in their perception cause marketing campaigns - they are identifying problematic portrayals of certain groups (gender, SES, race, ethnicity, sexuality...) in media and turning these portrayals around.
