Stereotyping – Is It Positive or Negative?

Assignment:

  1. Select a picture of any person, regardless of gender, age, race, etc in a magazine or newspaper.  This picture should really “speak” to you in order for you to be successful at this assignment.
  2. You may choose someone famous, but you must rename and choose a different occupation for this person.
  3. Write a biography about the person you have chosen – based on what you perceive by the person’s looks, body language, etc.  The biography should include as many of the following as possible:  name, background, education level, special interests of the person, his or her career, whether he is single or married, and hobbies.  This may be humorous, but not disrespectful.
  4. You are to glue the picture to the biography, and practice reading you writing aloud, looking for any obvious grammatical errors.
  5. You will read your prepared biographies to the class.
