From our PowerPoint lecture:
With a partner, or in a small group, write down all the thoughts and images that come to your mind when you picture a homeless person.
Create a physical description of the person (age, ethnicity, gender, cloth- ing, hair, etc.).
Where do you think you acquired this mental picture? For example, did these ideas come from your parents, the media, your personal experience, or something else?
How many of your points are based on fact? How many are based on stereotypes?
Where do we get these stereotypes? Discuss.
