Blog 10- David Keyser Period 3

Aim- By synthesizing diction, tone and characterization, how is “group polarization” and stoner’s “risky shift” demonstrated in the jury room 


Do now: I wish i could switch teachers every semester true/false
  • I wish i didn’t have Ms. Peterson this semester
    • Everyone misses Mrs. Lane. We had had her as a teacher for the longest time; made genuine connections with her.
    • A lot of people feel that it is good to move around and learn similar things with different methods to better understand the topics


Pair Share: Why is it so difficult to be the only one who goes against the whole group?
  • removing yourself from the group does several things: you instantly make enemies with whoever opposes you; people with different opinions on certain topics may start to judge you based on what you stand for / believe in.
  • Humans are “social creatures”, people get discouraged when they are put in a position where they are the minority 
  • When the one person was coming forward as different, he was immediately shut down and murdered. He put his neck out and it got cut down 
Group Polarization: phenomenon that when placed in groups/situations people will make decisions that are more risky/extreme than when they were alone
