A version of this activity is a pivotal assignment used in one of our online semester abroad courses. The students seem to really enjoy it (any occasion to talk about themselves, right?) and the impact is often significant as most of them have never done this kind of self-examination. One challenge that often comes up is a misunderstanding on the types of responses to include. We often get students who use adjectives despite being told not to. Sometimes it can be helpful to provide them with some basic examples. The challenge then is not influencing them too much. One solution is to have them revise any inappropriate responses to make them align more with the noun descriptors. These conversations also help them with understanding dynamics of identity, which then leads to more reflection about the connections between identity and culture. The reflection prompts are also particularly good as they give the students a voice in defining the labels themselves and in establishing the importance of various identities and their attributes. I love this activity!
