with a stereotype or prejudice written on each.

environment and after their explanation, allow them to pop the balloon.
3. Provide each student with an deflated balloon and a marker and
write the word diversity on it. Ask each one to say how diversity
is an asset to the classroom and as each one shares a thought, allow
them the opportunity to inflate the balloon. |
