“Investigating Stereotypes”
Preparation

Before the discussion analyze country
diagrams. Try to predict what your guest will say. Please e-mail your
predictions to JH by June 7! The guests will answer the following questions about
their country diagrams and add anything else they want to:
1) Are there any responses that your are proud of?
2) Are there any responses you do no think are true?
3) What else do you think we should know about your country?
