Task 1- Try the same again. NOTE: This must be handed in as the first of the four parts making up your Portfolio worth 40%. This will be worth 10%. You should write this in the Portfolio ProFormaby the due date (3rd October). But don't submit until all four parts are done. Keep all Portfolios the same size as given; do not expand or use smaller fonts.

FIRST,I want you to do a bad job, and disobey the following rules. Write 4 possibilities for one of your own observations but do the following things wrong on purpose:

"You observe two people yelling at one another as they walk down the street together. Quite heated yelling. Then as they go to separate at an intersection they give each other a kiss and a smile and walk in different directions."

- fixate on a possibility that matches common knowledge or everyday understanding

- guess without more details of the context

- interpret this in terms of an idea, notion or theory for which there is nothing observable in the context or even no potential observations

- use your own personal experiences only to give a possibility

SECOND: give 6 good possibilities for what might give rise to this sequence of behaviours.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

NOTE: This next task (only Task 4) should be handed in as the second of four parts of your Portfolio worth 40%. This will be worth 10%. You should write this in your Portfolio ProForma by the due date (with the other three parts).Keep all Portfolios the same size as given; do not expand or use smaller fonts.

Task 2. Now try the same for these two people (remember to try and avoid pure guessing, stereotyping or interpretation). Do not forget that there might be people involved who are not in the photo, and there might be "avoidance as a resource" happening. And remember to avoid stereotypes! There are three parts to do for this Task.

1. Resources involved (for each of the two people)

Man in photo

Woman in photo

2. Audiences and relevant populations involved(for each of them)

Man in photo

Woman in photo

3. Skill 7: Analysing and observing exchange and generalized exchange(4 tricks). For each person, write what they might get out of this interaction in terms of the four generalized exchange tricks (Figure 2.1)

Man in photo

Woman in photo

TASK 3. (The third of four parts of your Portfolio).For this example ("Disclosing lesbian identity in a no-receptive context") answer the questions below the passage in lecture terms:

Another common response was that the person to whom I disclosed would take responsibility for accidentally exposing me. For example, my domestic partner and I decided to have our apartment couch and carpets professionally cleaned, so my partner called and made the arrangements. The cleaner arrived and I greeted him at the door and introduced myself. He though he had the wrong apartment, but I said no, both Gina and I lived here. He surveyed the apartment to determine where he should begin. It was a one-bedroom apartment with one bed. After looking things over he asked, "Does the couch pull out to a bed?" This was not an unreasonable question, because he could clean a solid couch but could not use his equipment on one that had a mattress in it. I casually responded, "No, it shouldn't be a problem to clean because it's solid upholstery." He took a moment to do the arithmetic and then became flustered and said, "I am really sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your private life." Working from a closed awareness context, he believed he had embarrassed me and apologized for exposing what he thought was a secret.
(Montini, 2000, p. S124)

Part 1. Can you briefly relate the strategic twists of this story correctly, not the whole thing? It has interesting nuances and twists.

Part 2. What is being kept secret here? Who is actually hiding something here, if anyone?

Part 3. What is different about the accompanying monitoring for this "secret" to our usual examples in class? Outline the monitoring involved.

Part 4. How would you talk about the resources and audiences in this passage? What possibilities might you find there? (not easy ones to fathom)

NOTE: This next task (only Task 5) will be handed in as the fourth of four parts of your Portfolio worth 40%. This part will be worth 10%. You should write this in your Portfolio ProFormaand submit by the due date. This is the last part.

Keep all Portfolios the same size as given; do not expand or use smaller fonts.

Task 4. For the final consolidation we will work a little differently. Below are the nine typical sort of "symptoms" of Depression as promulgated by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM). Your task is to brainstorm some possibilities for how these might occurin everyday life from resources, populations, and social and other contexts. You cannot say "Because of a brain malfunction" or "because they have a mental illness". What strategies of contexts could bring these about as normal behaviours we might all do? You have to deal with real everyday social behaviour.
