The Great Lemon Experiment

Congratulations, you survived the great lemon experiment! Please reflect on the activities and what you were thinking. On Monday were you a half full or half empty person? Explain. Share some of your thoughts about what you were thinking before, during and after your turn. Is there anything you would change about the experiment?

How much impact have your genes had on making you who you are? What impact has your environment had on you?

Psychology

What are some psychology questions you would like to know the answer to?

Because this is a movie dramatization, characters and situations are greatly exaggerated.
Given that, what are some of the stereotypes that are found in the movie? How were they
reinforced? Why do we, as human beings, create stereotypes? Why is it so difficult for all of us to break out of the mold? Is it more difficult for teens? Explain.

Activity

Choose one of the following activities this week and blog it by Friday, September 25.
**Spend at least 15 minutes observing the non-verbal communications between two people and record your findings. Your observation should include hand gestures, eye contact, posture, use of space. Suggested places to watch malls, games, classroom, cafeteria.
**Intentionally violate the “unwritten rules” of nonverbal communication. Record on how people act to your “violations”. Possible “violations” include standing too close or too far away during conversation, making too much or too little eye contact, using inappropriate facial expressions, speaking too loudly or too quietly, or claiming some public space as your own.

List fifteen norms and then identify them as either a folkway or more. Be creative.
