Sure, here is a lesson plan for Differentiating Biases from Prejudices:

Grade level: High School

Objective: Students will be able to differentiate between biases and prejudices and understand
how they can affect individual and societal interactions.

Materials:

 Whiteboard and markers


 Handouts with definitions of biases and prejudices
 Scenarios for group discussion

Introduction:
Begin the lesson by asking students if they have ever heard the terms "bias" and "prejudice."
Write the terms on the board and ask them if they know what they mean. Write down their
responses and use them to facilitate a discussion on what biases and prejudices are. Clarify any
misconceptions and provide definitions for each term.

Activity 1:
Hand out the definitions of biases and prejudices to the students. Divide the class into groups of
3-4 students. Provide each group with a scenario that highlights an example of bias or prejudice.
Each group should analyze the scenario and identify if it represents a bias or a prejudice. After
10 minutes, ask each group to share their analysis with the rest of the class. Encourage students
to ask questions and provide feedback on their peers' responses.

Activity 2:
After all groups have presented, ask the students to share their thoughts on how biases and
prejudices can impact individual and societal interactions. Guide the discussion by asking
questions such as:

 How can biases and prejudices affect how we treat others?


 How can they affect our perceptions of people and situations?
 How can they limit our understanding of different cultures and backgrounds?

Conclusion:
Summarize the key points of the lesson and ask students to reflect on what they learned.
Encourage them to consider how they can apply this knowledge in their daily lives to promote
inclusivity and respect for all individuals.

Assessment:
Assessment for this lesson can be done through group participation and discussion, as well as
individual written reflections on the impact of biases and prejudices on society.
