Room Creativity

(1) How do you plan to address the room creativity expectation?

I believe that I will have a limited space to work with so I plan on keeping it simple. I would like to borrow flags of colleges and place them around the class room. I also planning on findings flags and placing them on tables that will be arranged in groups. I feel that for my activities there will be a lot of discussion so for the seating chart I want them to be in a group, but at the same time I want them to pay attention to me. Perhaps I may set up the room in a huge oval like shape since that could work best. 

(2) What activity ideas do you have for answer 1 or 2?

I really want to show them this: http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map  maybe for my sponge activity and I feel that they will be able to be fully engaged if I ask them to see the difference between cities like Pomona and Claremont. I want them to focus on the racial make up and see if there are any patterns. 

I know that for my second answer's activity I definitely want to show them these videos. It will tie perfectly into the topic of stereotypes and I will like to discuss on some of their first thoughts when watching this video was.
