Summary: Students collect information about the stereotypes of their countries and debunk them.
Description: Stereotypes are not usually true because they are based on inaccurate generalizations. In this project, students are to collect information about the cultural stereotypes of their countries. They can interview students from other countries, surf the Internet, and discuss with their friends. After that, they start to verify the accuracy of those stereotypes and then defend them. They may do a small-scale research to verify the information they have collected. At the end, they set up a blog where they include all the evidences in the form of essays, images, and short clips that support their defense.
