 * HW: Response Paragraph **

In your journal, write a full paragraph (at least a half a page) connecting the __ideas from the podcast “The Danger of a Single Story”__ **and** our discussion about __assimilation/Bradbury’s warnings__ **to** what you learned about the cultural group you researched. In what ways have individuals in the group you researched been given “a single story” or been asked to assimilate to one? How does fear of the unknown, stereotypes, and a lack of education, keep us from understanding others’ stories and cultural experiences?

This is due next time I see you.
