Prejudice in Dr. Seuss's Eyes: An Anticipatory Activity

Students in English 9 watched the Dr. Seuss video "The Sneetches" to open a discussion on prejudice and racism. The students then discussed similarities and differences in the events of the South in the 1920's and 1930's as well as some occurrences still happening in today's world.  Students are beginning their study of To Kill a Mockingbird.
