Healthy Bodies - Strong Minds
Weeks 7&8
Global Learning Intention: We are learning about being healthy.
BIG IDEA: By keeping physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually fit, we are holistically looking after our HAUORA, (Health).
Big Questions for learning weeks 7&8:
What is a stereotype and how can it affect the way I think about myself and others?
|
Authentic Contexts:
Stereotypes
The way different cultures see beauty
Positive body image
The effect of the media on self perception
Profile photos
Photos from google. Use these if you want.
- Pin the profile photos around the classroom. Divide students into eight groups and give each group several profile sheets from Copysheet: Profile. Allocate a starting photo for each group and allow them a set period of time to come up with a profile of that person. Each group then moves on to the next photo, until they have worked with all the photographs.
Completed profiles
Consider: How accurate were your profiles? All of them had at least one thing pretty accurate.
What sort of things did you make mistakes about? (Age, hobbies ...) My group kept getting hobbies and ages.
Why do you think your profiles weren’t always accurate? I don't really judge people that much until I actually get to know them so it is extremely hard for me.
What information did you use to make your profiles? (The look of the person, what they were wearing, their culture, their age, what you think you know about people like that ...) well I was the one writing down the things but I figured out the one of the girls were a waitress because she had a menu with her.
Is this a fair thing to do? Why or why not? No because sometimes someone might have white hair but that doesn’t mean that they are necessarily old.
What should you do before you make decisions about what a person is like? (Really get to know them, find out about their personality, talk to them ...) Talk to them and get to know them
Create a list of the dangers of stereotyping people into categories.
- You might accidentally spread rumours about them.
- If they find out or you ask them about what you think you could really hurt them.
- They might not be who you think they are.
- You could miss out on a great friend.

Knowing and Respecting People
1. Before I make a judgement about a person I should: Talk to them and/or get to know them first.
2. It is unwise to stereotype people because: You could really hurt their feelings plus you might miss out on a good friend
3. We can make people in our school and community who we think are different feel
welcome by: Talking to them and letting them join in so you actually can know who they are.
4. In future when I meet new people I will try to … Get to know them.
Cultural Perceptions of Beauty
- Brainstorm – What do you think is the perfect body? Draw/ cut pictures out of magazine as to what they think. the perfect body is?
- Is there such a thing? No
- Are children and adults pressured to LOOK a certain way? In some places but not all
- What is vanity? How does it affect ‘The perfect body?”
- Culture – What is it?
My ideas and thoughts...

The Customised Body – The perfect body?
What practices are you aware of?
- SCARIFICATION – cutting patterns in the skin, is a common way for African women and men to decorate their bodies. The cuts heal over, but raised scars remain on the body as elaborate and long – lasting patterns. Scarification video from National Geographic.
- Elaborate gold jewellery, pendants, beads, neck chains, earings, and a headband are used by Masai tribe in Kenya.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ZW6oSLnMM A more modern view of scarification.
- Metal/ brass rings. Burma or Ndebele people of South Africa.
- Nose plumes of the Ergpactsa chief pierce the soft tissue between his nostrils. The skin of his ear lobes has been stretched by wooden discs.
- A wooden disc inserted between his lower gums and lips. Lip discs – Suya tribe Brazil.
- Foot-binding – 19 photos of Chinese foot binding
- Generation of women in China had their feet bound to attract men, the custom was supported to have been handed down since ancient times. “How to bind feet” pg 105 - 06Body Bizarre, Body beautiful
- Tattooing, piercing
- More technologically advanced societies, they also change the shape of their bodies, special diets, exercising, cosmetic surgery, liposuction, botox.
In some cultures the ideal body can be very different to the perception and beliefs in New Zealand.

This is a more modern approach to scarification and downright silly body alterations. My point of view there.
