Run-On Sentences
If we did not use proper
punctuation we would always
have run-on sentences which
would cause us to be out of
breath and so we need to use
punctuation appropriately in
order to be clear about what we
are saying and so that we do
not bore our audience or gasp
for breath as we are speaking
which even though it would be
hilarious for others sometimes
would not be fun in the grand
scheme of things…!
Student Progress Record
 Record your marks for your
test and your paragraph
on your student progress
record

next unit

evaluation on the backside
Words of Wisdom
 View your words of wisdom collages
 Listen to a segment of Randy Pausch’s last lecture,
“Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams”

school community?

Stand Your Ground – Chapter Two
 Work on the comprehension
questions for Chapter Two
 If finished, begin reading

Stereotypes
 People often use labels or categories to describe
others
 These can be based on such characteristics as
clothing, looks, and the way a person talks
 Categorizing things or people is a natural human
inclination
 BUT people often make assumptions about groups of
people they don't even know
 Example:
 What are some stereotypes that Canadians tend to hold about
Americans?
 Vice versa?
 Rick Mercer talking to Americans
Common Stereotypes
 How many stereotypes do you see?
 What are five common stereotypes that are used
among adolescents?
 Circulate to each posted stereotype and write down
adjectives associated with each


You must add one adjective each stereotype
You may not repeat adjectives already written by others
Have a Look
 Do assumptions apply to everyone in a group?
 Do most people hold the same assumptions about a
group? Why or why not?
 Do assumptions tell us anything definite about a
categorized individual?
 How do assumptions affect your behavior toward
others?
Why these exist
 When we make assumptions
about an entire group of
people, those assumptions
are referred to as stereotypes
 When assumptions and
stereotypes influence our
attitudes, we may find that
making a fair judgement
about someone or
something is difficult.
 This influence on judgement
is called a "bias."
