Framing: As you know from yesterday's discussions of social groups, we are already grappling with the issue of stereotypes as we think about and create our social maps of AHS.

Transition We are now going to move into studying group formation and behavior- our goal here is to understand how groups form and behave, and to have words and concepts to describe our observations of roles, statuses, hierarchies, and power dynamics. I will introduce a project today that will ground us in this school. As you work on this project and complete your observations outside of class, you will also be learning content and vocabulary about group and social dynamics that will help you to understand and interpret what you are observing in our school mapping project. Social Mapping Assignment Intro assignment, assign mixed grade pairs. You need to complete your draft map at lunch by next Thursday- this gives you a number of days to complete this assignment.
