The Prejudice Book- Activities for the Classroom Outcomes Students recognise that individuals and groups have both common and different attributes and that each individual may be a member of many different groups. The choice of inanimate objects for the analogy is endless. The only restriction is that it belongs to a recognisable group and has its own distinct physical characteristics. The story should focus on certain physical characteristics, eg, it has a certain bump because it was dropped on the way to market.
Students then introduce their potatoes in pairs, groups or to the whole class.
Ask the students if they could find their friend again. Invite them to try. Students explain a unique feature of their potato which helped them identify it. Students list the various groups to which they belong and map the class similarities and diversity.
