emphases difference and the lack of human equality]]> 2021-02-11 14:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/louisepagden1/36zxtgzfcg17yn4v/wish/1192493723 https://padlet.com/louisepagden1/36zxtgzfcg17yn4v/wish/1192494318 Impressionable and vulnerable to stories - particularly children 
Unintended consequence that children can't see themselves being represented
Single story - having only one assumption of people/places e.g. Africa being full of poverty and war - this image is developed by literature and media coverage

Just as important to tell all the stories of a place both negative and positive
Single story recognises how we are different not how we are similar 
Stories can be used to empower 

There is more than one type of story about all places - important to respect this and give children access to both sides of the story. 
Ensuring that perspectives are not based solely on the views constructed by media and literature
Ensuring that children within the school feel represented within learning and not subject to a single story
