I understand the impact that prejudice can have on people and how they feel about themselves.Slide3
Starter Please sit next to someone you don’t normally sit with and ask about the research they did on their name. Then share your ideas with another
pair. You could talk about: Does your partner know the meaning of their name? Did they have a naming ceremony? Do they or anyone they know have a nickname? Is their name ever shortened or lengthened? Do they like their name? Slide4

Using the identity cards to give you ideas, create a mind map-style picture that uses small drawings and words to share some things about your identity. You could include, for example, a picture of a place you like to visit, a group you are part of, music you like, sports you play, a favourite meal cooked by a grandparent, etc.Slide8
