Created by

TheQueenV2013

An interactive Google Doc/Hyperdoc with 12 links and 12 questions to help students understand cultural sensitivity around the concepts of appropriation, stereotyping, and representation. I use this to discuss the new live-action Aladdin movie and then in a separate assignment, how this new information might be applied to Halloween costumes.
