From the LSA Inclusive Teaching Initiative, University of Michigan:

• "The students may not perceive the activity as relevant to the course and thus may exhibit resistance.
• If students are unfamiliar with thinking about their identity, they may struggle to answer these questions in critical or dynamic ways. Using the wheel worksheets and discussing anything that might be unfamiliar to students about identities prior to the discussion will help prepare students for the discussion questions.
• Some of these questions may feel especially vulnerable to students with invisible identities that they may not want to disclose to the class. Disclosure in verbal or written form should be voluntary and discussion questions should be addressed broadly enough that students can opt to not talk about more vulnerable aspects of their identities while still leaving space for them to share if they wish."

This activity can be used in conjunction with the Personal Identity Wheel and the Social Identity Wheel.
