The activities of group three's teaching were very important for teachers and students to experience and learn from. The activities showed how everyone in the classroom is affected by stereotypes and that as a teacher your teaching might be affected by this social issue. After seeing how the media impacts students, I feel that as a teacher we must try and combat those stereotypes and issues by changing our methods of teaching. This could be in the form of a lot of interesting lessons and texts that break down stereotypes. Introducing texts that have main characters that aren't popular, jocks, or similar to this. Students have to see that everyone in the classroom has things in common and can work together and can even be friends. Many people have a world view today that states if you play sports or wear nice clothes or are smarter than other people you are better than them. This just can not stand in the classroom and as a teacher I feel it is your job to eliminate this belief.
