Open introducing and talking about stereotypes - Take stereotype quizzes in Media book
– page 43 – Emma and Franchesca
-Also want to talk about how stereotypes are portrayed in the media (all girls that want to
share)
-Discuss ads we saw – every girl is supposed to bring a photo of a “false”
advertisement – or something that is photoshopped (boys hair that will grow long if
they use girly shampoo, a funny (appropriate for 2nd grade) photoshop fail)
-Tell girls we’re going to play some games just to get them moving
Break up in to 3 groups for rotations
1. Rubber band ball – Katie and Emma – (make sure to make a ball out of rubber
bands at least the size of a ping pong ball.
2. Teambuilding – Annabelle and Caitlin – Human knot, rope on floor, line up in
order (birthday, favorite color, sports)
3. Bunny hop dance – Heather and Franchesca
About 10 minutes per rotation
(Megan you can join one of the above, would prefer station 2 or 3)
Get back in large group – Ask them to think back to stereotypes and what they think of
when they hear the word media, discussion on types of media – Annabelle will read
definition of media
The girls need to think of a way to tell their story using Media – Heather
Discussion on how they can do this – cadettes give a list of some ways to do this –
write a song, make a short story, do a poem or skit, draw a picture – give girls
paper/pens/markers to do this
If there is time left at the end we will do bunny hop as a whole group and also teach come
girl scout songs.
