Slog Days, Egg Babies, and More The social studies had many original activities for students to participate in. These activities were to help the students learn more about a certain area of study. They ranged from Slog Day held in the fall to the egg simulation in the spring. Slog Day was an activity to show students the effect of prejudice and bias which minorities must face. The sociology department sponsored the event in which students of the class had to wear special shirts to show they were slogs. Slogs were required to sit in special areas in the library, lunchroom, and classes. The egg simulation was a game in which students carried an egg around to teach them about child care. The experiment which took a week proved to be challenging to those who took part; since keeping an egg that long through a normal week warrants special care by the parents. The eggs had to be cared for throughout the week and if the egg was broken a trial would be held. If found guilty of egg beating, the parents could serve a time in detention. In psychology, Mr . Myers presented a baby of his own. The doll was to help students learn about the new born baby and how it develops. Students had to help in certain activities to show the reflexes a new born baby has. All of these activities showed the students new insight into the area of human development. 78 Social Studies Below: )eff Moon, a Sociology, student takes part in Slog Day.
