The Stanford Prison Experiment

Aim:How do we analyze the Stanford Prison Experiment? 

Quick Write:“Historically, the most terrible things--war, genocide, and slavery--have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience."
                   --Howard Zinn

You know the march: interpret, agree or disagree, and explain why.

Today we are going to analyze one more experiment before we begin working on the final challenge on this unit studying social science experiments. We will watch a documentary about the infamous Stanford Prison Experiment. As you watch the documentary, deconstruct the components of the experiment using the graphic organizer. There will be a short reflection to complete at the end.

Step 1:First, watch this documentary, "The Stanford Prison Experiment."     


Step 2: Click here for a graphic organizer to complete as you watch. Make a copy and move it into your Google Drive. (Hard copies are also available in the classroom.)

Step 3: Read more about the experiment by clicking here.

Step 4: Complete the final reflection and link the worksheet to your blog or submit the hard copy.

***Don't forget to complete and turn in your "Six Elements of Engagement Daily Self-Tracker" before leaving class.
