Every picture tells a storyPurposeTo explore assumptions and variations in lifestyles.
Teaching notesThis activity is a powerful introduction to the idea of stereotyping; the
assumptions we make about people without knowing anything about
them. It gives the students the opportunity to challenge each other’s
assumptions during discussion time.
Procedure1. Organise the students in pairs and distribute a set of picture and
statement cards to each pair.
2. Ask each pair to match each statement with a picture card.
3. Ask the students to form groups of four to compare their answers.
4. Ask this new group to come to some agreement and rearrange one set
of cards to meet group consensus. This will stimulate debate.
5. Each group should then choose a spokesperson to report the group’s
answers to the class.
6. Allow time for the class to discuss these answers and to examine the
assumptions people make.
Extension Activity 1. Distribute blank cards and a picture card and ask the students to draw
pictures of the type of lifestyle that each of the people in the pictures
might have in ten years’ time.
2. Ask other students to match the drawings with the original picture
cards. This allows scope for further discussion about assumptions and
stereotypes and, also, discussion about lifestyle choices.
