-Angela
 * Mob Mentality- updated!.ppt**]] (Updated 5/29) I didnt really change anything 'cause we're pretty much done. I just want to know who was going to email the project to Cavanaugh and Stanford. Thanks guys.


 * (updated 5/28 at like 10) Here is the powerpoint with all of my information updated! I should be finished, but let me know if there is something else I need to be doing! (SK)

Hey yall! Okay I've finished my portion, unless there is something else yall see I need to do. If so let me know, but I'm posting the most recently updated powerpoint now! Also, on the works cited page, I know yall said you couldnt find a website to do the APA format... go to [|www.citationmachine.com] and it will let you fill out the information for the APA format on the works cited page. Ms. Stanford told me to identify each of my slides & works cited entries... so in parentheses why don't we put our names by everything we've completed. For the pictures she told me we need to post the URL of where we got the picture from, as well as posting the APA format of the website on the works cited page. When I get home today I'm going to post the APA citations for the two pictures I used on my slides. Then I should be finished! Sorry this is alot! We're almost finished! :) (Sarah Katherine)

Hey guys. This is an updated file of the project. There is another saved in media files under Mob Mentality. I've done my slides. Sarah, I love the new ideas. Thanks everyone for all the hard work. What are the Psych terms that are suppose to be filled in? I'll work somemore tonight. Thanks again. (Angela)

Hey guys, i went ahead and added whatever was on the "updated ppt" that Sarah Katherine posted on the actual powerpoint that is on the K drive. It would be great if you could find it and put stuff on their yourselves but I did what I could because I'm done with my part now, too. If you are having trouble finding the K drive here are some directions: Open Microsoft Powerpoint. File>Open and then go to the top in the "Look In" box and click the arrow and go through the list until you see "Media files on 332dc01 (K:)" then once you are on the K drive the powerpoint is under Mob Mentality. Hope that helps you guys. Good luck with everything! (alex)**

Can you post the updated powerpoint on here? Because we're working on two seperate powerpoints... and my computer at career center won't let me get on the K drive so there is no way for me to retrieve the updated powerpoint. (SK)

No, it's definitely on the K Drive. Alex has found it, so I know it's there.

And yes, computers at CC will let you access the K drive. Some won't because they're retarded but most do. Try a different one tomorrow and chances are it will let you access it. If it doesn't work, ask Ms. Stanford to let you switch. Just copy-paste what you did into the slide outline on the one that I have started. It has updated titles that make more sense. Try and incorporate the history topics into the psych slides.

I posted a ppt with my completed slides on the K file. Is this where you got this ppt from? Cause it's definitely not the same. I tweaked the layout, since the psych slide headings were a bit off. Your info slides are fine, SK. I'll post a deindividuation picture. Maybe you can talk about the psych term as it specifically applies to some of the history topics that we're supposed to cover. (If this is where you got the ppt from, it's probably my fault bc i saved it somewhere random on accident). I just named the psych slides with the term they're covering, nothing fancy. You don't have to wait for my approval to do everything, BTW. Now that I'm done, I'm not really going to come back on except to make sure that one of you turns it in. It's not my job to hold your hand and walk you through step-by-step what's supposed to be done. You're smart.

(somewhat updated by Sarah Katherine 5/27) I didn't really work on much because I posted some stuff on the discussion board. I didn't want to do too much until Ashley looks at my ideas, I'm going to work on some of it tonight, Angela tell me if my ideas are okay with you! John Adams/Boston Massacre Civil War Drafts LA Riots/Rodney King non-violent protest v. mob mentality

History students: Discuss the above events and their historial context. Psych students: Discuss the events in terms of conformity and deindividuation (or other social psych terms)

Hey, my name is Ashley Gore. I'm a senior at West and in first period psych. I took AP US last year and I'm pretty good with the history of these topics, but I've never heard of LA riots/rodney king. I apologize in advance for any...overgeneralization of psych terms, I have no idea how much you know about them. :)

Hi, I'm Alex Zaleski, a senior at East. I'm in second period psych. Conformity: this is a good website explaining Asch's experiment on conformity http://www.age-of-the-sage.org/psychology/social/asch_conformity.html

Hey y'all I'm Sarah Katherine Mabe, a junior at Tabor. I'm in 5th period US History. Let me know what I'm supposed to be doing :)

History students have to answer the history question. Research the four topics and put info here about the history behind these events. The psych kids talk about potential psych theories and stuff that can apply to why these events occurred and how people reacted to them, etc. By the way, I post a lot of my info into the discussion section. Please post some history info on here so I can get my slides done. I haven't seen any work at all from yesterday from the history section. Thanks. (Ashley)

This comic is a good example of stereotyping. Many people make assumptions based on stereotypes, which leads to discrimination.



Hi, I'm Angela a junior at west and i don't really know so much about history but i'll do the best i can to help make this project great. I have a question. After we find all the info, exactlt who is goint o make the powerpoint, because I see you have already got it started and I think it would be easier to go ahead and just have maybe one person make the changes to the powerpoint once all the info is on this page. Thanks and here's some info on The Mob.

John Adams showed his fierce independence, however, when he defended several British soldiers accused of killing four people in the [|Boston Massacre] in 1770; most were acquitted.

Here is my info: The L.A. riots/Rodney King incident occurred in 1992. Some other names were Rodney King Uprisings or Rodney King Riots. These riots began when a jury aquitted four police officers accused of beating Rodney King who was a black motorist who led the police on a high speed chase. Following the verdict thousands of people rioted all over Los Angeles for six days. Looting, arson, assault, and murder went on during the six days of riots. Alot of the crimes were gang related and a total of 53 people died in the riots. http://www.emergency.com/la-riots.htm

One example of a non-violent protest turned to mob mentality is the March to Selma in which African Americans began a March to Montgomery in support of voting rights for African Americans but were stopped at the Peltus Bridge by a police brigade. The media named it "Bloody Sunday" because the police teargassed them, spat on them, whipped them, and trampled the marchers with horses. Within 48 hours there were demonstrators in over 80 different cities who had seen the outrageous photographs on TV. http://www.americaslibrary.gov/cgi-bin/page.cgi/jb/modern/selma_1

Angela I did the info on LA Riots/Rodney King and non-violent protests v. mob mentality. You need to research information on the Civil War drafts and post it on here. Ashley- I'm ready to make my slides on the pyschology part of it, so do you mind telling me which information you want me to do the slides on? Thanks! I hope everyone has a good weekend & day off from school! (Sarah Katherine)

Ashley can you post the APA format of the textbook you used? Thanks! Thanks, guys! I really appreciate yall working on this. Sorry to have to yell. I guess I momentarily freaked. I detailed info on the ppt discussion section, so no, not one person will have to do the whole ppt by themselves. Each person is responsible for two slides each. Sarah Katherine and Angela, you have to decide how you want to split up your four psych slides. I am working at home and cannot access the K drive (that I know of) but Mrs. Cavanaugh said that she posted my ppt outline there. I wasn't sure on how to lay out the psych slides, but maybe do one on conformity, one on deindividuation, and two on different psych terms that may apply (I listed a bunch with their definitions in the discussion pages. Alex and I need to decide on which slides we want to do for the history part. Thanks! (Ashley)


 * hey guys, i'm going to need some info on the civil war drafts. I went ahead and looked up stuff on the Boston Massacre so that is done. I need info and pictures. Thanks! (alex)**

Ok so i thought the US History kids were suppose to look up info on the history of the topic for you Psych kids to make history slides ans vice versa for the history kids to make psych slides......i'm lost but here some info on the civil war drafts. (Angela)


 * you are right that the psych kids are supposed to make slides on the history stuff, but in order for me to make my slides you needed to give me the info, at least that was the basis of this project. you are supposed to make slides based on the psych info that we posted and if you don't get that by now i don't know how else to explain it. hope that helps!

By the way Angela did not really update the powere point. Ms Stanford was showing me something so i will change some things when i actually look at it Thanks. (Angela)

Angela, why don't you work on the two slides for Conformity and Self-fulfilling prophecy. I'll work on the two slides for deindividuation and group polarization. Ashley- just checking, but doesn't each slide need a picture with it? When you did the definitions for the psych terms did you post pictures to go along with the definitions or do you want me to look up pictures to go along with the two terms I'm working on? Also, we are supposed to edit the works cited page on the information we posted, right? So I need to add to the works cited page the two websites I got my information for the history slides?
