Performance Task:
Working
in groups of 2-3, select a context and violate a social norm. Use digital media
to record the response from the people in the setting that you have selected. Upload
the video onto the class YouTube site. Editing, captions, and video quality are
part of the grading rubric.
Instructions:
·
Identify a specific social context
·
Choose a behavior which you will perform
in the particular setting.
·
Explain how the behavior is a violation
of social norm.
·
Capture and evaluate the response of at
least ten subjects.
·
Only one person needs to enact the
behavior. However, more people in your group may participate.
·
In order to receive equal credit, the
other two group members must take on the tasks of staging the activities and
writing the summary.
·
Review each of the videos in the class
and post a substantial comment on what you have learned from their project.
Think about the variety
of social contexts and identify the social norms, or standards, for each
setting.
·
How should you dress?
·
How should you speak? And what do you
talk about?
·
What constitutes acceptable behavior?
·
What constitutes unacceptable behavior?
Guidelines: The
social norm may not be in violation of laws, damage property, put anyone in
danger, cause disrespect of people or property, or distract from the learning
environment during the course of the day. Such violations will result in an
automatic failing grade. However, if the students wish to explore the social
norms on school campus, the group must obtain written permission from the
administrator or teacher and give full explanation of the assignment.
Disclaimer: While
YouTube video is entertaining, not all online community members are discreet
with their opinions. Public profiles are also subject to criticism from viewers
who are not part of the class.
