Stereotypes
During 2nd semester, eighth graders read the Newbery winner, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, which takes place in the rural South, pre-Civil Rights. Students learned about stereotypes, prejudice, and racism and discussed how these flawed and often inaccurate attitudes are developed and how we Christians should respond to help bring about change and justice. Additionally, eighth graders prepared mini-speeches (with expert research and Biblical support) to debate with their classmates about whether or not the N-word should still be used today.
