I recently participated in a flash judgment activity. The presenting group chose Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell. The characters in this book face bullying in their daily lives. Each group received a photo of someone and a worksheet to complete about this unknown person. My group received the photo below. If you want to complete the activity, follow the instructions below:
Give this person a first and last name. Write a brief description of this person. What do you think his GPA was? Do you think he graduated at the top, middle, or bottom of his class? What do you think his extracurricular activities included? Do you think he attended college? Has he ever been arrested? If so, what were the charges? Was he a member of a clique? What do you predict his occupation was after high school? What is his favorite style of music? Write any other thoughts you have about this person just from the photo.
Click “Read More” to read further and reveal his identity. Don’t read further until you complete the activity!
We were surprised when we learned that our unknown person was the Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. Did your judgments surprise you? I have included my group’s response sheet below.
