Parent Guide > The Blink of an Eye
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "The Blink of an Eye" by Facinghistory.org.
This text explains how stereotypes and prejudice are formed and how they affect our behavior.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Prejudice & Discrimination, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we understand the world around us?", "How does prejudice emerge?", and "Why do people resist change?"
