Upon completion of this ELAP your students will be able to:

Identify how their negative thoughts affect themselves and others
Assume responsibility for how they view others
Recognize when they are negatively judging themselves and others
Understand how their negative self-thoughts impact their daily lives
Have empathy for themselves and others by converting negative judgments into positive judgments

Objectives
Teach students how to recognize when they are negatively judging and stereotyping others and themselves

Show them how to replace negative judgments with positive ones

Impress upon students the connection we share in spite of our skin being hued differently

Overview
This activity is designed to help teens and pre-teens realize that they have much in common with their fellow humans of varying races. The HUE of our skin should not keep us from interconnecting and creating a world of harmony and hue-manity.
