Follow-up Activities
Since the presentation is designed to be interactive, the goal is to have students talking and discussing the issues as they arise within the presentation. Still, follow up activities may help in reinforcing the learning objectives and encourage more self-awareness, understanding and dialogue.
- Journal Prompts: Students may be asked to journal about their experience, highlighting new learning and new information.
For example:
"What are your thoughts about issues of bias as they relate to the USC community? Is the issue of bias an issue in regards to the GLBT community?"
“What bias or stereotypes do you have about the GLBT community? Are all stereotypes bad?"
- Discussion Questions:
What did you all think about the presentation? Anything surprise you? Were you uncomfortable with portions of the discussion? Do you find yourself assuming that others are straight or heterosexual? Do you see bias on the campus? What can you do to react to that bias? Is sexual diversity something that you think of when you talk about diversity?
- Reflection Items
Did any of the presentation's material make you think about and assess your own awareness of sexual diversity? How can you become more aware of the various kinds of diversity on our campus?
