 * =What are stereotypes?=

**[[image:miner.png align="left"]]Activity 1 - Brainstorming.**
In your group, watch this video. You might need to watch it more than once. We are going to talk about how we think about other people, what we say, and how we use stereotypes which affect the way we behave to other people, and how we think of ourselves. ||

**Activity 2 - Putting some words we use into action.**
Using the **notepads below** in your group, think of some words that you might use, or might have heard people say about you or others. We're going to collect these and use them when we start playing our game.

**Activity 3 -What do these words mean?**
Use this **[|online dictionary]** to link to the words that people use: For example. "[|Mate]". If you don't know how to make a hyperlink or edit a page - **click here to learn how.**

Activity 4 - Class discussion
Each person needs to add a comment on this page about what they have learned about stereotypes writing about: Are there obvious similarities or differences in the lists? What does this tell us about Australian males and females? Can we draw any conclusions about how Australians see each other?
