As a small group, read and discuss these questions. BE READY TO SHARE WITH CLASS:
Why were these groups treated differently during this time? What were the stereotypes surrounding their discrimination?
In what ways were they discriminated against? What were the actions against them?
Do you think the same treatment occurs today? EXPLAIN?
Independently: Write an I Am Poem for a person during this time-
Find at least one picture to help visualize the mistreatment of the minority group. When you find a photo to use, have the teacher look it over first.
You may use additional sources.
