Unit 7 Report Back

Q Directions The Report Back assignment allows you to gather information about concepts that we are discussing during the unit and test them out in the real world! As you report your results, please do not indicate full names. For each unit Report Back: 1. Respond with your answers to this unit's Report Back questions. 2. Ask five adult volunteers this unit's Report Back questions. Using only adult volunteers adds standardization to this activity. 3. Report back on your results. 4. Briefly summarize your observations. Include in your summary, how many of your respondents behaved as predicted. 5. After Thursday, check back and add at least one posting to summarize or to discuss the responses. Report Back This Unit Crazy Is as Crazy Does? It seems that the word 'crazy' is overused in conversation. Does anything surprise us anymore? The purpose of this activity is to examine impressions about "crazy" behaviors or inversely what is 'normal'? How do you know if you have met a 'normal' person? How would you describe a 'normal' person? This is the question you get to grapple with this week AND you get to involve other people. Is basically every person just a different degree of abnormal? Ask five individuals to come up with a description of the 'normal' person. If this is difficult for the person, ask the inverse - what is a description of an abnormal person?
