Lesson 15.1: Homework

Part 1) Print (or Copy) and Complete the Rep Test Grid Below:

Instructions: Think of 5 people you know and write their initials inside the 5 spaces marked Person A, Person B, etc… Try to pick a diverse group of people (older, younger, liked, disliked, relatives, peers, and so on). In each row, three of the columns (people) are blank. Your job is to compare those three people and think of one way two of them differ from the third one.

For example, on line 1, the triad of people is Me, Person A, and Person B. If for me Person A is "mom" and Person B is "best friend", I might think: "my friend and I are male and my mom is female". If so, I would write male in the "how are the two similar?" column and write female in the "How is the third different" column.

Then, do this for the next triad of people (on line 2 they are Person A, Person C, and Person D), and then the next, until you have compared and contrasted all 6 triads.

TRIAD#	Me	Person A	Person B	Person C	Person D	Person E	How are the two similar?	How is the third different?

Since some students find this exercise confusing, the following example might help…

TRIAD#	Me	Person A Girlfriend	Person B Friend “E”	Person C Friend “S”	Person D Brother	Person E Mother	How are the two similar?	How is the third different?
1							Lutheran	Jewish
2							American	European
3							Working	Retired
4							Psychologist	Statistician
5							Female	Male
6							Self-Deprecating	Self-Aggrandizing

Part 2) Answer the question below:
