Directions:
1) Write a paragraph where you describe a time where someone had a "single story" about
you or where you had a "single story" about someone else. A single story is when an
assumption is made about someone because they are perceived to belong to a group
that people often stereotype. (For example, race, gender, age, interest, religion, language,
appearance, etc.)


Things to consider writing about: What happened? How were you able to change the person's
mind if they had a single story about you? If you didn't change their mind, how were you
impacted? What do you wish you could have done or said? If you had a single story about
someone else, how did you change your mind? Or how did you impact them? What do you wish
you had done instead?
