We started today's class with students posting questions and inferences from Chapter Four on the whiteboard. We discussed the inferences and made attempts to answer the questions. There are lots of subtleties being noticed by students... good stuff!
Then, we did a quick experiment, where Ms. Barsky asked students to write down what they would do if they could be invisible for 24 hours, and, no matter what they did, nobody would find out and they would face no blame. We had some intriguing results.... Four people would behave in a "prosocial" manner, while 17 people would behave in an "antisocial" manner. Hmmmm....
Then Ms. Barsky distributed a handout on the social psychology concept of deindividuation. Students were asked to read the piece of informational text, and create a definition placemat for it. Four quadrants, each one representing a different aspect of the definition: definition in your own words, synonyms, examples and non-examples. Students were asked to have the definition placemat ready to discuss for next class.
