Soc 8: Mar 13 Identity and Unit three…
- We began with a few questions written on the board that students wrote down and we discussed briefly. Who are you and what makes you you? Do you recognize that you are one person when you are at home with your family (maybe a bit more quiet, pay attention to what you’re told better) and a different person when you are with your friends or at school (like you are more rambuncious and loud, make jokes more, and listen less). Do you compare yourself to other people in your class? You might want to be as smart as one person or as popular as another person. Who are you in this class? Are you ‘the smart one’, ‘the loud one’, the ‘goofy one’, ‘the quiet one’?
- With these thoughts in mind, students began watching a video titled Bye Bye Love. Each individual in the movie is trying to figure out who they are and each one has their own identity (the nervous one in denial, the gruff one who hates his ex wife, and the player one who is trying to date many women yet still be a good father). Students will watch this video and then we will refer to it through our discussions in the unit.
