This week in class, we’re reading “Herd Behavior” by CommonLit Staff.

“Herd Behavior” describes how individuals change when they are part of a crowd.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Social Pressure as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

“Why do people follow the crowd?”

Ways to support your child:

• Ask your child about this psychology article at home:
  • What was “Herd Behavior” about?
  • What did you learn about?
• Watch Everybody’s Doing It: Candid Camera at home with your child.
