Inclusion/Exclusion



What does it feel like to be part of a group? What does it feel like to be excluded from a group?  These were two of the questions that students grappled with today.  Students participated in several activities today that were designed to help them better understand the issues of inclusion and exclusion.  Upon completion of the activities, students talked about what it felt like to be part of a group (felt good, felt like they were part of something) and what it felt like to not be part of a group (sad, humiliated).  Understanding behavior like this continues to set the stage for understanding choices and why people do the things that they do.
