Know, Want, Learnt (KWL) :D

Hehe Ms Huang shared with us this format of reflection (well you can refer to it as a reflection...) and it's called as Know, Want, Learnt (KWL). So this is my KWL for the Language Arts lesson on 13th January 2011. :)

Topic: PREJUDICE


Know: What do I already know about?

• Definition: Prejudice is like showing biasness towards a group of people. The group of people are most often then not different from the rest and possess different psychological or physical traits.
• Example: Black people are treated differently from White people, where the Whites are given more advantages, a good job and a good lifestyle while the Blacks are poor, have difficult jobs and hard lives.

Want: What do I want to know about?

• The specific definition of Prejudice.
• Other examples besides the example of the Blacks and Whites.

Learnt: What have I learnt?

• Prejudice is not only related to the issue of discrimination of the Blacks in America. It can also be related to issues like the persecution of the Jews and the Holocaust. Prejudice can even be associated with gender issues and discrimination of females.
• Other examples are like the persecution of Jews during the Holocaust. Jews were discriminated just because Hitler thought that they were weaker and unclean. They were not allowed into certain areas like playgrounds, made to stay together in ghettos and etc.

Yupp! So thats my KWL for my LA lesson!

Cheers,
