"Good morning class! Today we're going to talk about how we judge people. I want to show you a picture of two people and I want you to tell me which one is more honest and responsible. [Shows picture of well-dressed person and casually dressed person] Obviously, the person in the suit is more trustworthy, right? What do you think?" Teacher script: "Why might my assumption be problematic? Have you ever been judged by your appearance? Today we'll explore how appearance doesn't always reflect character and discuss the importance of fairness in our judgments." |
Students react to the provocative statement. Some may agree initially, others will challenge the assumption. Students share personal experiences of being misjudged or judging others based on appearance. Possible responses: "But my friend dresses casually and he's very honest!" "My grandmother says you can't judge a book by its cover." "Sometimes people in suits can be dishonest too." |
Observation of student reactions and initial responses. Quick formative assessment of prior knowledge about fairness in judgment. | Projector, contrasting images of two people (one formally dressed, one casually dressed), whiteboard, markers, ChatGPT for generating discussion prompts about fairness and appearance |
