Activity Put the signs for the different passengers up at points around the classroom wall. Tell the students that they have won a prize of a holiday and are going on a long haul flight to Australia (this takes 24 hours). The computer system has gone down, so all the seat allocations are missing when the passengers check in. Each of the students is a passenger travelling on their own and they are now getting a choice of five people whom they can sit beside for the journey. Ask them to look at the signs around the room which tell them the people from whom they can choose. They should think about which person they would most like to sit beside and then go and stand under the sign for that person. When all of the students have chosen, ask the group in front of each sign to discuss among themselves how they would describe the person they have chosen - their imagined likes and dislikes, hobbies, age, appearance, lifestyle etc. Ask them also to imagine a conversation between them and the person and what they would talk about over the long journey. In turn, ask each group to give the rest of the class a brief description of the person. Then give them the envelope with the relevant photo and ask them to open the envelope to see who the person really is. Ask for immediate reactions to their discovery and record key points on the board. When all the groups have done this, ask them all to sit down, still in their groups, and to complete the Why Did I Choose? Worksheet on page 35. When they have finished, take some brief feedback from each group, particularly on the everyday examples they have included. 34 sECTION 2 Exploring Perceptions & Stereotyping
