- What is a stereotype?
- Can a stereotype ever be helpful?
- Does travelling influence the way we see the world? If so, how do you know you’ve been affected?

- Do we know and learn our first language in the same way as we learn additional languages?]]> 2020-10-12 16:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822072727 Language and Values rozenngrainger1 https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822078303 How does our language influence our understanding of moral issues?]]> 2020-10-12 16:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822078303 1. Language rozenngrainger1 https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822122082 Within the Identity theme, we look at the link between language and identity, and the regional variations in the French language, Being in the USA, my students seem very interested in Canadian French and how it differs from the French spoken in France. One option would be to look at the linguistic difference for instance in the use of prepositions in Québecois and French. 

Another aspect we cover within the Identities theme is the topic of gender neutral identities, so investigating the trend towards a gender neutral French language from a linguistic evolution perspective could be interesting.

Literature rozenngrainger1 https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822211109 I would recommend this primarily for our HL students as they would be best equipped for this thanks to the literary studies that they do within the course.

Culture rozenngrainger1 https://padlet.com/rozenngrainger1/Bookmarks/wish/822231334 Within the Human Ingenuity theme we look at a number of musicians, but also study a few films along the course, both of which could lead to an extended essay.
