-today we wrote our exam on the novel The Lovely Bones. The test had 25 multiple choice questions. There was also an article that needed to be read and then students responded to the article.
- we then visited www.woot.com a fave website of mine that combines my love of online bargain shopping with my other great love, creative writing.
- we visited another valuable website www.ted.com. There we watched Jill Bolte's Stroke video. As a neurological scientist she found herself in the throes of a stroke, and because of her education, was able to understand its progression while it was actually happening to her. We also spoke about right brained and left brained attributes and how they manifest themselves in some people.
- we learned about psychologist Stanley Milgram who in 1961 conducted one of the most famous psychological experiments ever. He tested subjects obedience to authority and learned, surprisingly, that a strikingly large majority of people would, when prompted by an authority figure, deliver a fatal electrical shock to another person.
- we'll continue with the Milgram Youtube video when we return tomorrow
