Guiding Questions: Does Cultural Identity affect your driving skills? Do judge teachers based on your race? Do teachers favor one ethnicity (culture) over another?

Guiding Activities: In Class- 1. Have everyone try to match stereotypes with different cultures

2. Make food representing different cultures and share it with everyone (ex. Japan- noodles, Italy-Spaghetti, etc.)

Out of Class: 3. Find a common stereotype about one race (ex. asians are smarter than average) and devise a test to see if that is true. So, to test if asians are smarter, then you can make a short and easy test and time them and then get a group of non-asians and give them the exact same test and the exact same amount of time and see if asians really are smarter.

4. To answer: Does age affect your cultural identity?
 * Record interviews of people from different age groups. (ie: kindergaten, teenager, adult, elderly). Ask them the same questions and see if their age affects the way they think about their cultural identity.
