My teacher wants us to become social deviants...

Wear your clothes backwards. Just don't do it with a hoodie. In the middle of winter. During a snowstorm. When your face gets cold.
It's happened before. We had a good laugh about it and he didn't get frostbite so it was a win-win.
If all else fails go with this:

just be sure it's not at a murder or rape scene.

I've got a couple ideas.
1. You could do something really childish, like wear a cape or carry around a toy at all times. Or, since it's college, you could get a childs backpack or lunch box.
2. Wear make-up, face paint, or a mask at all times.
3. Narrate your life and all your actions, or talk about yourself in the third person.
4. Read out loud in public or sing your own background music.
That's all I got. These are things I would do myself, so I don't think they're too outrageous.

Whenever someone says stop, shout "HAMMER TIME!"
Do the Time Warp in public. Then do it again.
Or, in seriousness, talk backwards, in a different language, or if you can't do either fluently, with a constant smattering of another language or lingo thrown in. Just make sure they don't know what the lingo means; using game talk with someone you know is a gamer is kind of redundant, isn't it?

Haha! That's freaking brilliant.zana bonanza said:
Anyway, your best bet is probably to wear or change something on your appearance that is completely extraordinary. Walk around with a feather in your hair for a day or such. Put on hot pants. Or woolen gloves, if you can still do this assignment by summertime. Or, playing on on your idea of walking backwards, jog whenever you'd normally walk for a day.
Edit: I thought of something else, playing on the idea of using other languages. Try and do something like repeating the last word of every sentence for a set amount of time, time. Or shout whenever YOU use a personal pronoun in a sentence. Or start whispering randomly in the middle of a conversation.
Sociology, eh? It's my major. I suggest doing something simple, like wearing your jacket or pants inside out. It's minor, but noticeable.
This is a great idea, but you have to be very careful about how you actually pull it off. Remember that the teacher didn't just tell you to be deviant, she said you have to write a paper about your experience. On the day the assignment is due, if you just say "yeah, I didn't do the assignment because that's the social norm I'm breaking," the teacher will know you're just a smartass trying to get out of doing her homework. More importantly, since you don't actually write the paper, your teacher's superiors may actually require her to fail you for the assignment. I'm guessing you don't want that.zana bonanza said:
So instead, you play it this way: On the day it's due, say that you didn't do it, but don't give your reason (just let the teacher think you were slacking and blew it off)--after all, she did specifically say not to tell anyone what you're doing as you commit your faux pas. Then go home and write about that experience; talk about how the teacher made you feel alienated by calling you out in front of your classmates, mention the embarrassment of being the only one in the class who didn't do it, and conclude that society just doesn't have a place for a free spirit like you.
When that's done, walk up to your teacher after class one day (preferably within a week of the original due date) and give it to her, completely unannounced. Just put it in her hand and walk away without any kind of an explanation. She'll have no idea what you were doing until she reads the paper, which is exactly the way you want this to play out. This way you're thinking outside the box, but she can't fail you because you actually did the work. Meanwhile, you managed to swing a nice week-long extension on this assignment, so you have plenty of time to work on your other homework.
Okay, I have to say I really like this one too. Call that a plan B if you don't have the courage for the first one.The Bread is Delicious said:
When in public, place your hand on your waist, your other hand on your neck, and stand on one foot in a elevator. Someone might think you are a bit crazy though.
