Psychological disorders Projects

Now that you have been taught various psychological theories and concepts, it is time to put them to the test. This last project will center on your accumulated knowledge and research. Make sure you follow each step:

Step #1: choose who you will work with. Choose a partner who has similar intelligences or choose to work on your own. (Maximum group size is 3- however make sure that there is evidence that the work was needed for 3 people.)

Step #2:Choose a psychological disorder: These may include personality disorders, fears, Moods or whatever. There are many so first come first serve on your topic. Simply tell your teacher and you are good to go.

Step #3: How will this be presented? Create a brochure that outlines the following:

·         Explain the disorder (History, classification, discoveries and the new information)

·         What do various Psychologist believe about it- (Behaviorist/humanistic/Freud ect.)

·         Testing – (How are these diagnosed?)

·         Determine treatment- show evidence of other tests (Some cannot be treated)

·         Include a case study

Step #4- Submit this at the end of Friday’s class.

Period 1- Music 10- 809- Music students have been working on mixcraft. This is an audio software when the students can pull and drop various audio clips to create a song.

·         Song must be 4-5 minutes

·         Use at least 10 different tracks

·         Consider music elements- For example if the students do a country song, it should sound like a country song.

·         If students are finished they can do an extra credit assignment- In this assignment students can work together up to a group of 4 to develop and create either a music jingle or a radio ad.- Ads are generally 1-2 minutes and they need to advertise a NEW product. They can record it on their phones and then email to davidg@nbed.nb.ca (Friday)- All the work should be put on the black and red jump drive provided.
