I am searching for ideas about how to open the first day of Race,

Ethnicity and Social Class with a bang. Something that will grab the

students (junior and senior soc majors) attention and get them excited.

 Also, any activity ideas that foster discussion, partcularly if the

class is ethnically diverse (which I dont actually know will be the

case)would be greatly appreciated.  Lastly, any RADICAL ideas to be

used throughout would also be helpful.  Thanks in advance for the

assistance.

Thiagi has a number of wonderful simulations on multiculturalism:  Barnga is excellent and Same Difference can be very effective.  Neither one takes all that long.  You might want to check Simulations by Thiagi.  I will send you—by separate mailing—a variation on Same Difference that you might want to further adapt.  It can be a kind of mixer for students to get to know each other as well as having a point to it.
