Extractions: Quiz on Prejudices - an interactive lesson and good starting point for discussion. http://www.eburg.com/beyond.prejudice/Quiz.html I missed a lot of these questions and found them to cover a large section of different kinds of discrimination. I'd recommend this site for information on prejudices- it provides some interesting statistics. Interesting site to collect great dicussion questions. One might take caution with taking the multiple choice and true/false quiz, many of the choices are not chooseable due to lack of detail in the questions being asked. For instance the first question uses the word "punishment" but it's not defined as a simple reprimand, a fine, or jail time. Do Something - Young People Changing the World. Activities and links. http://www.dosomething.org/ This link has the familiar celeb-centered look and hip-hop tone that adolescent net-junkies have come to expectan important aspect overlooked by a lot of sites.
