Game Face
Weiner, Jill
Teaching Tolerance, n28 p44-48 Fall 2005
In this article, the author discusses "Game Face: Life Lessons Across the Curriculum", a teaching kit that challenges assumptions and builds confidence. Game Face, which is derived from a book and art exhibition, "Game Face: What Does a Female Athlete Look Like?", uses layered and powerful images of women and girls participating in sports to teach the complex curricula of body image, diversity, determination, tolerance and character. Questions associated with each image serve as prompts for discussion, writing assignments and other classroom activities. Teachers say they love how Game Face inspires children.
