More about shared schematic knowledge
Task C – Schematic knowledge about places and situations
Part b - Script knowledge
First of all, think about what events you would expect to happen in a
lecture theatre, and in what order. Then look at the set of events described
below.
Remove the events which do not prototypically occur
in lectures. Then rearrange the events you think can occur in lectures
into what you think is the most likely chronological order.
When you have done this you can see if you get the
same answers as us, and at the same time compare more generally your assumptions
about lecture scripts with ours.
