- With your partner, make a list of the clique nicknames in your school community.
Agenda:
- Cliques Survey
- About Cliques - text and videos below
- Social media:
- How does connection to larger world improve?
- How does it make things worse?
- extreme control over the members of the group (“We only wear brand-name clothing.”)
- strict rules about who is allowed into the group (“We don’t hang out with people like THAT.”)
- inflexible exit from the group (“If she hangs out with THAT girl, we’re not going to be friends with her.”
- In the “real world,” or life after middle school, you will have to communicate with many different kinds of people (especially in college or at work).
- Learning to talk to a variety of people can help you in the future. And... you may just make a new friend in the process!
