Key Features:
Comprehensive Lesson Slides: Includes detailed explanations of different types of conformity and the factors influencing them, supported by real-life examples, such as peer pressure and workplace norms.
Interactive Activities: Features a “Do Now” prompt to engage students, think-pair-share discussions, and a case study on the application of social influence theories.
Assessment Materials: Offers practice exam questions related to conformity, with model answers provided to aid effective exam preparation. Activities include a key term matching exercise to consolidate learning on the topic of social influence.
Evaluation Tasks: Incorporates opportunities for students to critically evaluate research studies, such as Lucas et al. (2006) and Asch’s experiments, with evaluation sheets to guide their analysis.
