    WOW!! I had no idea that classifying people was this hard! I fell victim to classifying to indians with dark hair and dark features. This activity was an eye opener!

    Classifying people is hard i got 13 out of 20 right but i had a hard time classifying the Indians but this activity was cool.

    I got 9 classifications correct. Pretty confusing! I only had a couple right in each category. So, my guesses were off.

    Well mrs roper i didnt do well at all i scored a five. i thought i was doing great but i found out different. All the people looked a totally different race then what they were. I enjoyed doing this blog mrs. roper.

    Thank you for the fun and interesting activity, next time I will think twice before labeling a person with race.

    By playing the sorting faces game it soon found out it is much harder to see what nationality a person really is. I answered 11 out of 20 right and some of the faces really were suprising and and other that i should have known. The second time I played the game i got a better score but only from memory. This exercise teaches us not to judge others for what there appearances.

    This assignments was an eye opener. I got 10 out or 20 right, not too good. It made me realize that classifying people isn’t a good idea cause half the time I’m going to be wrong. I enjoyed this alot.

    This makes you think about how you look at people and just assume what race they are but you really dont know i got 6 right haaa… wow.. it really makes you realize things.

    I got 8 right pretty hard to tell the differnts between people and thats why we sterotype people on how they look when they really are not what we think they are.

    So I got 13/20 the first time & Macy and I got them all right the second time. Racism in rude, but with the county we live in..there is alot of it. My brother used to be pretty bad before he left for the Marines. All I know our family didn’t teach him racial slurs. He learned them from peers. Rasism is bad..

    This assignment was really cool i really enjoyed it and it really opened my eyes to how much we really do stareotype everyone.

    6 right out of 20 shows how much we rely on characteristics of people that we see in every day life and the sterotyping that goes on in every day.

    i did fairly well on this one, i noticed how their eyes are all similar to the race, i was surprised on some of them though, i really learned that just because people look like a certain race they might not be. i got 11 of them right though :)
