If you are in need of a lesson on tolerance or the impact of media, this plan could be useful. The class begins with a brainstorming session in which they reflect on their own experiences with bias based on appearance. Next, they consider the presence and impact of beauty messages in the media. Individuals locate at least three media sources that depict beauty messages and address 7 questions for each. Additional discussion topics are included as well as an extension activity.
