Section outline
-
Partly because it's a long module, and partly because I won't be at school the end of the week, Module 25 won't be due until Monday, Oct. 24. If you haven't yet seen the outline for Module 25, you can find it again below.
We will spend most of this Monday working on the whole-class survey designed to be administered to all juniors and seniors by the first week of November, if not sooner. Remember, you need to look for youthful pictures of politicians for half of our social judgment survey. The other half will be composed of questions relating to generalized attitude evaluation. Example questions might include: Do you judge people based on first impressions? One a scale of 1-5, how much to looks matter in evaluating a person's... honesty? integrity? temperament? etc.
Wednesday, the majority of you will be with your A Block taking the ASVAB. The other two of you will be taking the PSAT.
Thursday, I'll be leaving you the social psychology movie "Mean Girls" to watch. Due in the following Thursday - Oct. 27 - will be an assessment paper n how the film relates to the concepts of person perception, stereotypes, attributions (internal vs. external), attitudes (cognitive dissonance), persuasion, group influences (conformity and obedience), group membership, and aggression. You'll be expected to provide both an understanding of each concept and its application to the film. This essentially will be you FRQ for the unit. (And, yes, I essentially followed the module outline.)
Note: Your note cards (a minimum of 25) for this unit will be due in by Wed, Oct. 26. The review test (85% or better) on Social Psychology will be due in by Friday, Nov. 4
