2. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion [ Teacher Page ] Hello students! You have just had the opportunity to encounter “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. It was in this novel that high school social groups, and stereotypes were exposed. And now, we as a class and you as a high school student, get the chance to explore your own personal bias and stereotypes. You will be challenged in many ways; your perceptions and views will alter and change, and hopefully you will learn a thing or two about yourself and other individuals that appear to be completely different from you and your friends. You are going to be a stereotype that occurs in high school. You will walk in shoes of “ditzy cheerleader”, the “gothic emo”, the “pompous jock”, and so on for this unit. From here, you will then pick an issue that your age group is experiencing. In short, you will be a stereotype with an adolescent issue. I hope that reading “Stargirl”, and participating in the activities, will give you insight into another’s life. So lets get started on the scary journey together! If at anytime you feel extremely triggered and affected by an issue, their can and will be an alternate assignment. But if your a little uncomfortable, a little unsure, it means you are learning and growing! Throughout this unit, I want you to question why we have created stereotypes in high school, and what can Stargirl and the activities in class teach us about these stereotypes. Essentially, I want you to question your own role in continuing this labeling. So lets begin… CC, Flickr: Alana Holmberg's

7. Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] It might be the end of this unit, but my hope is that you will take away some new insights about yourself and your peers. Essentially, the objective of this unit was to walk in another’s shoes. My hope is that participating in the activities helped you to recognize some of your own personal bias, and how you as a high school student succumb to the social structures of this school. Some questions to ponder as you continue your adventure through high school is: - What is my stereotype? - What roles do I play in my school? - What can I do to break down stereotypes? Perhaps we can all strive to be a little more like Stargirl when we begin to answer these questions with honesty and integrity!

10. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Teacher Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion The origin of this lesson plan stems from Mr. Terry Smith’s tenth grade honors English classroom. Being a student of his, I was able to take bits and pieces of his lesson plans in regards to teaching “Stargirl”, and apply some of his activities and thoughts to my own lesson plan. This lesson challenges students to walk in the shoes of others through writing activities, discussion, and games. The activities center around high school stereotypes and current adolescent issues. Students will role play a stereotype and issue, challenging preconceived notions of their peers. The novel “Stargirl” is the backbone of this experiment, becoming the main reference material for the students. .
11. [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Teacher Page This lesson is designed for 9 th grade students as well as 10 th grade students. Because of the content of the book, and the specific emotional, physical, and intellectual changes that are taking place with the younger high school students, it is best to limit this lesson to the freshman and sophomores. For this lesson students need to know: - The content of the novel “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli - Have background knowledge of current stereotypes in present high school settings - Have information about the different issues that occur in the 14-18 year old adolescent age group.

If the process goes as follows, students will be able to relate the novel’s themes to their own real life experiences. You are a facilitator, quietly guiding the students on a self reflective journey during this unit. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
