The beginning of the first day was rocky... very rocky. But, as the discussion got underway it improved. I think the pictures assignment got everyone thinking and a little more open to the topic. The book was not as helpful as I thought it would be so the intros and discussions were up to us. I thought at first that this was horrible and I critized the book but I think that as teachers, most of the work and intros come from us. As in we have to develop them for ourselves. So I guess the book did its job.
The second day was fun. This gave me a chance to act the way ignorant people treat me sometimes. Not only that, everyone elses reactions were surprising as well. Once the African American group figured that they couldn't do anything without getting arrested they did nothing. And the special needs people couldn't really get what they wanted either becuase they weren't allowed to question things. I think the reactions of the white group was the funniest of them all they loved their privleges so much that they never notcied the fact that everyone else needed help. That was the most surprising to me. Only one of them cared about the other groups. Maybe this is a sign that the predjuices that people have are human nature.
