The class was assigned to bring in lists of high school cliques and compare them in small groups. Most groups chose the same top five cliques, such as football players, cheerleaders, band kids, rednecks, and nerdy students. They then discussed stereotypes about each clique, such as whether rednecks are smart or jocks are only focused on sports. This exercise prompted reflection on how society overgeneralizes and labels people based on superficial characteristics rather than seeing their individual qualities.
