“COMICS TO COMBAT STEREOTYPES”
After students have explored the nature of bullying and stereotypes and how these issues affect LGBTQ+ youth, they will examine ways to challenge those stereotypes and illustrate their ideas in a brief activity.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may choose to create their comic digitally or with original drawings or collages. Encourage students to imagine a scenario in which stereotyping might occur and how that stereotype could be challenged in a real-world scenario. For example, in the text people think Charlie cannot play sports well because he is gay; however, he soon proves them wrong by excelling at rugby.
