B1 - I went around the room to check Milgram Summaries and collected students' goals (as applicable). We discussed the nature of the summary assignment, the amount of time students spent completing it, and the various approaches students took toward completing the assignment. Students received a set of Guidelines, then we spent some time peer-editing their papers in class. Toward the end of the block, we finished the Dateline episode we started last week, then we watched a more recent episode in which Chris Hansen meets with participants who have agreed to take part in a reality TV show in which they administer electric shock to another "participant" (very similar to Milgram's original experiment). Assignment: Read Philip Zimbardo's article, "The Stanford Prison Experiment" and complete a typed one-page summary of that article (p. 732+). Revise and/or type your goals (as needed).
B3 - Students worked in small groups to answer questions about Chapters 7-9 for discussion. While they were doing this, I went around the room and checked Character Chart #2. We then went through the worksheet and reviewed Chapters 7-9. Students took notes for a good portion of our time today. With the remainder of the block, I asked students to complete an exit slip. Assignment: Read Chapters 10-12 and be ready for another quiz. This quiz could have anything from Chapters 1-12 on it, so please be prepared!
B4 - Checked Preliminary Topics Worksheet and checked to see whether or not students brought in magazines or newspapers to use with notes today. For almost the entire block, we began working our way through the Powerpoint lecture on creating Bibliography entries for various sources in MLA format. Assignment: SAT Vocab. Test #19 next time.
