Learning goals:

• Represent, interpret, and compare data on a graph.
  • Explain concepts including oscillation, contrarian, follower.
  • Describe the system's interdependent relationships, connecting this particular oscillating structure to other types of relationships.

Student Challenge:

• Create a variety of simulated, oscillating relationships. Explain each relationship within the context of the simulation as well as within real world situations.

Curricular Connections:

• "…examine contemporary patterns of human behavior…as they apply to individuals, societies and cultures."
• Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters.
