How would you go about creating a mass movement like //The Wave?// As our world and society has changed and evolved in the past 40+ years, you would have brand new resources you could incorporate. You also have different views on the topic of ‘groupthink’.

Explain (1-2 paragraphs) the process you could use to create a movement.

 * //2 May//**

//TODAY'S CLASS WILL BE PRIMARILY SELF-PACED. We will be moving to the library, with laptops. I would like you to use this time to do the following.//

//Research time for your own example of groupthink. Find another medium to reflect this. You may choose electronic or print media in any genre.//

//**Ballnote because I'm not there... Research things like groups, cults, gangs, social movements, even just an example of mob mentality -- any of this. Identify the feelings or themes going on in that example, and look for something that reflects that. Not easy, I know, but you can do it! For example -- Say you are researching the LA Riots of 1992. This was an example of a group whose anger had hit a boiling point. You could choose:**//

//*** Poetry that reflects anger**// //*** African American stories**// //*** News footage of the riot**// //*** Songs that reflect these emotions**// //*** Articles about riots and how / why they grow.**//

//**See? Too easy. Your choices are wide open in this, but make sure that you can connect your researched media example to a group / movement, etc and be able to explain how that mentality played a role in it.**//

//**You're in the library...Mrs. C is awesome. When you arrive at a topic, use her to help find a book or article.**//
