Discussion Instructions
Instructions: Discussion 1 requires 1 initial post and 2 peer responses.
Introduction: Almost done! You got this 😊 This week we focused on building our tool chest on how to respond to the hard comments. We highlighted the 6 C’s of responding to victim blaming and practiced how to do that in a way that corrected misinformation and centered victim support without shaming or blaming the audience.
Prompts: This week’s discussion prompt is about responding to victim blaming using any of the 6 C’s.
Question:
- Using any of the 6 C’s-what do you think is the best way to deal with victim blaming?
Initial Post: Your initial post must include your response to the prompt: Using any of the 6 C’s what do you think is the best way to deal with victim blaming?
Your post can be texts, video, or any type of media. Your original post should be no less than 2 paragraphs. Please respond to one of the prompts below and support your answer with your personal experience or sources (e.g., websites, research, books).
2 Peer Responses: Your peer responses should first go to those who do not already have a response on their post. Use the following to guide your peer responses:
- Address the ideas/concerns/feelings/perceptions mentioned
- Appy course experiences/materials in your response
- Introduce new ideas
- Ask clarifying questions to stimulate further discussion
Learning Goal:
Consider how to confront misinformation, myths and victim blaming in our classrooms without shaming, blaming and shutting down the conversation.
