lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

1. Jane Elliot separated the group of blue eyed students from the brown eye students.

"On that first day of the exercise, she designated the blue-eyed children as the superior group. Elliott provided brown fabric collars and asked the blue-eyed students to wrap them around the necks of their brown-eyed peers as a method to easily identify the minority group"

2. She gave the blue eyed children extra privileges.

"She gave the blue-eyed children extra privileges, such as second helpings at lunch, access to the new jungle gym, and five extra minutes at recess. The blue-eyed children sat in the front of the classroom, and the brown-eyed children were sent to sit in the back rows"

3. She highlighted negative aspects of brown eyed children.
