The intensity of the response became more important than the content. To accentuate this, I requested answers to be given in three words or less. Students were rewarded for making an effort at answering or asking questions. They were also acknowledged for doing this in a crisp and attentive manner. Soon everyone in the class began popping up with answers and questions. The involvement level in the class moved from the few who always dominated discussions to the entire class. Even stranger was the gradual improvement in the quality of answers. Everyone seemed to be listening more intently. New people were speaking. Answers started to stretch out as students usually hesitant to speak found support for their effort. (Jones)
Day 4: Laurie and David get into a tiff on the way to school when she voices her doubts about The Wave. In class that day, Ben gives his students Wave membership cards, which designate some students as "monitors" who are supposed to report Wave members who break the rules. (Uh oh.) He also tells his students that they need to start taking action, action to benefit The Wave. He orders them to recruit new members. (Double uh oh.)
Day 6: At the football game, Laurie tries to go into the bleachers to talk to her friend Amy, but is told that she can't go up unless she gives The Wave salute. She refuses to give the salute and just heads on out. (Pretty cool how she stands by what she believes in, even with intense peer pressure.)
The small-scale sequences of the Purbeck in the Jura Mountains indicate through their facies association and their shallowing-upward tendency a depositional environment which was very shallow and partly emergent, and which was influenced by cyclic fluctuations of sea-level. These fluctuations were probably related to the precession cycles of the equinoxes (periodicity 20 000 years). Sequence boundaries can be correlated over the entire platform and thus give a chronological framework which permits detailed paleogeographic reconstructions. Furthermore, correlation with the Purbeck in England permitted preciser dating of the formation boundaries.
