  1. The New Face of America: Targeting Student Misconceptions to Change Attitudes Activity 2:One Face, One Race Project developed by Cheryl McDaniel & Tracy Trimpe Spring 2010

  2. Classifying the Face of America • Divide the pictures into different groups based on race or ethnic background. • How many races did you have? • What are other ways you could group the pictures together? • Let’s choose one and regroup the pictures!

  3. Classifying the Face of America • How many people did you have in each group? • What characteristics did you use to classify people? In March 2000, an estimated 10.4 percent of the U.S. population was foreign born, up from 7.9 percent in 1990.1 • How does the census data compare to your estimates? 1http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/p23-206.pdf

  4. Classifying the Face of America • Divide the pictures into smaller groups based on how likely they are to be successful in school. • How can we tell who is smart and who is not by looking at a picture? • What can we tell by looking at the pictures?

  8. Think About It • Choose one of the following for your journal entry. • Explain what the phrase, "One Face, One Race," means to you. • OR • Today you defined people by how they appeared in the picture. How would you feel to be judged only by how you look for your entire life? Image: http://streettalkin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/picture-112.png
