From the LSA Inclusive Teaching Initiative, University of Michigan:

"Students likely have personal stakes in dominant narratives. These narratives are often tied up in values, culture, and identity, so it is normal for students to feel invested in believing them or disbelieving them depending on how the narrative impacts them. If it seems like students are resistant to being critical of the dominant narratives, you might take time model for them how you personally engage with dominant narratives that you have felt/feel invested in."

This activity can be paired with Perfectly Logical Explanations.
