Three Reasons why I chose this article (interest in subject, heard about it from a friend, etc.):
1) The picture made me laugh.
2) It was something I'm not very familiar with so I wanted to learn more.
3) I was curious after reading the title.
Write a brief summary of the article:
It was a story about how a certain type of frog chooses it's mate. Scientists tried to predict which male frog the female frogs would choose. After hearing both male calls the scientists added a third 'inferior' male call which made the female frogs choose the frog they originally rejected.
Write TWO reactions you had about the article:
1) I was entertained.
2) I was intrigued.
Write a direct quote from the article that you found intriguing/interesting:
The "decoy effect" shapes some human choices, too.
List one connection I can make between this article and something else I know about (whether from personal experience, school, a book I have read, a movie I have seen, or anything else):
I know a lot of girls who have to 'choose' between guys and they think they have figured it out and then someone else comes into the picture and messes things up for the girl and she ends up choosing someone different then she originally thought.
