Use your own school experiences to provide examples of school-based cliques and crowds and the concept of dominance hierarchy. If you cannot think of a specific instance, make one up

What will be an ideal response?


students should clearly and accurately describe and distinguish between a clique (a small group of friends who are similar in sex, age, race, and attitudes) and a crowd (a larger group of mixed-sex children or adolescents who have similar values and attitudes and may come to be known by a specific label). Students will often confuse a crowd and a clique, so accurate description and distinction between the two is essential.
The student should also accurately describe the "pecking order" of a dominance hierarchy that exists within a crowd, and may describe positive and/or negative aspects of such a hierarchy existing.
