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.

"She often exemplified the differences between the two groups by singling out students and would use negative aspects of brown-eyed children to emphasize a point"
