Don't judge a book by its cover!

This afternoon we did an eye-opening activity about stereotypes. We had photos of different (unknown) people placed around the room. We all had to decide on each individual's age, occupation, marital status, hobbies, interests and more. Of course these judgments were based entirely on what the person in the photo looked like. What we found was surprising and way off what we had guessed. Hearing the real profiles of these individuals showed how wrong we were about so many things! We found there's no way you can decide what kind of person someone is based only on how they look and it isn't fair to make appearance-based judgments.
