Class Experiment
Today to start this lesson I will show the class five different pictures. Each picture will remain on the screen for 15 seconds. I want each student to write down your first thoughts
After each picture has been shown, I ask the students to put a star next to any comment that would be considered racist or prejudice. This experiment was designed to lead into the issue of Nativism that arose with the influx of immigrants coming into this country during the first major wave of the 1800’s
