Gather all your students in a circle and start to explore, one by one, the characters they’ve created. Analyze as a group the choices they’ve made for their dolls and the universes that they created for them. You will soon realize that the characters share many things in common – cultural relations, media influences, racial connotations.

This workshop type of setting will allow you to explore these issues using their characters as a springboard. You can discuss the ideas of types, archetypes and stereotypes, the influence of the mass media in our daily life, the projection of violence in our communities.

Your students, without them even knowing it, will analyze the world around them through their own perspective, as you help them to deconstruct and understand the characters they’ve created.
