Nacirema

​The Nacirema activity provides what I would consider a non threatening or non guilt enticing example because it reflects on many of the habits my students follow (for example, brushing one’s teeth or visiting the dentist). The students initially interpreted the text as “factual and unbiased”.  It was not until after students learned that the text was about Americans that they began to critique the accuracy, bias and language used. The students concluded that they cannot trust everything and anything that is presented to them.
