Our digital literacy workshop will discuss how websites classify face outlines. The goal is to ask better questions about classifications without ranking anyone’s appearance. One possible starting point for the reading list is what is my face shape to introduce the subject. That inclusion would not imply that its results are accurate. The first activity would ask participants what outline features a classification might consider. A second discussion could examine the information missing from one photograph. No participant would need to upload a personal image; a discussion of example descriptions would be sufficient. Each group could explain which evidence would change its initial interpretation. We could also compare two written descriptions of the same outline and ask whether their labels mean the same thing. This would make the assumptions available for discussion without requiring a supposedly correct personal result. What questions would make this a useful lesson in evaluating claims rather than another appearance quiz?
