All English classes participated in an introductory lessons/discussions about myths/facts about Mental Illness.
It was a really great opportunity for students to learn about labels that sometimes get put on people and why certain people feel stigmatized.
For tomorrow, remember to be ready to talk about the idea of stigma. If you are able to bring in an example from a story/experience/book etc. , that would be great.
8-8 started a really cool Art project.

Hi Mrs.C,
Could you explain what we need to know about stigmas?
Thanks,
Sarah Rose
Please define/explain what the word stigma means and if you can think of an example in the world/history/movie/book/everyday life where people are stigmatized.
this is about the geography project. My company is really small, and they only opened up a few years ago. Is it okay if my timeline's really short? or should I pick a new company?
Thanks a lot!!

Hi Mrs.Cosburn, I really don't understand what stigma means. I looked online and in the dictionary but I'm not really getting the concept of how someone can be stigmatized. Does that mean they ruin their reputation or does it mean that people judge them because of a illness or disability? Pleas help.
Lauren,
That is fine. It's important to bring awareness to new businesses in Canada especially ones that are local. I don't mind if the timeline is short as long as you feel that you have enough information to do the work that was assigned. Make sense?
You are most welcome Sarah. We missed you this afternoon.
Alexx,
Sounds like you have done some really great work on this. For our purposes, we are leaning more towards #2, yes almost like discrimination or a preconceived notion. Does that help?
Yes, Thank you.I know this is random but my word verification to post a comment is "Stigma". Weird.
Cool. You must be magic. I've had one of those "psychic" days too. For those of those reading this I said PSYCHIC not PSYCHO-no stigmatizing please :) You know, thinking about things before they happen.
