Make sure you have completed this week's Writing Wednesday:

For this week's Writing Wednesday, complete one paragraph (5-7 complete sentences) based on the following slideshows and prompts (on loose leaf or by email):

Option 1: Show your understanding of the vocabulary terms. What is a hierarchy? What is dominance? Describe two "dominance hierarchies" from the animal world. Describe two "dominance hierarchies" that exists in the human world. How do people use dominance to stay at the top of this particular hierarchy? If you have a job, use it as an example, and describe all of the levels of the hierarchy at work.

Option 2: What is competence? Describe one "competence hierarchy" that exists in the human world. How do people use competence to climb up or stay at the top of this hierarchy? Which one of the two types of hierarchies is more fair, competence hierarchies or dominance hierarchies? Explain why your choice is more fair. Which type of hierarchy would you most like to be at the top of? Why?

Option 3: Why does this pyramidal or triangular structure appear all over the earth, in numerous cultural patterns, and even in the physical architecture of different ancient peoples located on opposite ends of the earth (Mayan, Egyptian)? What is it about the structure of a hierarchy that makes it ubiquitous within the human and animal world? (Ubiquitous means appearing in many places, almost everywhere.)

Writing Wednesday will be easier for those students who have already completed the following assignments:

Here is the vocabulary for Friday's Quiz:

Late Assignments:

Classroom lectures are often presented on EdPuzzle. Late EdPuzzle assignments can be made up during the Extra Help / Assignment Makeup sessions in room 252 from 2:34-2:49 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. If you cannot attend one of the makeup sessions, see Mr. Flamm for a Missing EdPuzzle Assignment Form, or download and print your own form, HERE. Fill out this form and return it to Mr. Flamm for evaluation.

You may also easily complete the Podcast Questions of the Week during the above times. Homework is worth 10% of your final grade, so if you do not do any homework, it is equivalent to dropping your final grade down by one entire letter grade (10% deduction).

Assignments are due at 11:59 pm on due date. Unexcused lateness of assignments will be penalized at 10 percent per day late (for example, an assignment that is two days late will have a maximum grade of 80, or B-). After 9 days the assignment is worth zero points. Learners are welcome to submit assignments more than 9 days late as Merit Assignments, but not for class credit.
