Period3-2022-S1 Assignments

The Good, The Bad and Just Plain Knowles

So, as we come to a close of another semester, we are left with just the few memories that carried us through the year (ok scarred for life), memories of personal, public, other just absurd.

With this question, I'm not looking for pandering (gratifying) comments for my ego. Who is or was your best teacher (I usually aske for one, but I decided to make it easier) in your entire educational career (K through whatever)? Please be detailed in the qualities you most enjoyed and admired about those teachers. And please give me the school(s) were they have taught if you know. 

Without naming names (please, please, PLEASE!!!), describe the qualities you most frown upon with the one or two teachers you had difficulties with in your academic career.  

For those of you that are a point and some change away from your grading going up or down, please pay heed to these parameters and exceeding these in number and/or creativity will be well received.

In other words, put more effort into this the better grade you get.

Good Luck,

Coach Knowles

Please take note: You need to explain these concepts to me like I have no idea what you are talking about and in some of these cults or extremists groups, I do not have a vast knowledge or for some any. Please educate me. PICTURES and/or videos are a MUST.
You will need to use some of the Social Psychology vocabulary throughout your presentation. You will need to use at least 10 of the words we have discussed, need to highlighted or underlined, and used in the correct context.


 

Choose a cult or extremist group (no overt graphic references, i.e. must be school appropriate)
Please include in your work product
1. Origin (give a short history of how this religion came to be) no less than 6 sentences
2. Membership Demographics (social class, ethnicity, location, race, and so forth): An explanation to why certain people are attracted or drawn to this group
3. 3 or more fundamental beliefs (purpose in life, after life, or agenda.)
4. Important Rituals or Ceremonies (do they have a text or "Bible", do they have a manifesto, handshakes, language, holidays or days they recognize as important)
5. Internal Social changes that occured over time (how and why did they change as the years went on)
6. Any events that they have done to impact society. 

Please use visuals and video to accentuate your work.

Extra Credit


Since Halloween just past, you may to give it that thematic emphasis. 
This could and should be entertaining and informative.
The more people (you and your classmates) involved in your story, the higher the expectations.....which are already high.
The example I have given you was pretty lengthy so it does not have to be AS descriptive, but still needs to be detailed.

READ CAREFULLY

Pick 1 from the list below

Please read the instructions carefully.

Each of these categories has several subset categories 

(Ex: Anxiety Disorders has General Anxiety disorder and Panic disorder in this category)

Please do one of the SUBSET categories.

1.      Neurodevelopmental disorders

2.      Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders

14.  Personality disorders

This is to be a powerpoint, prezi presentation, or a pamphlet, but I need to be informed if it will not be a powerpoint.
A pamphlet would have all sides covered. 
Be creative. Pictures, gifs, animations, transitions will help accentuate you final product.
Place in Google classroom. Or hand to me if tangible.



DO NOT PICK ONE YOU HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED.
DO NOT CUT AND PASTE.
Remember:



Again, this is a powerpoint assignment first, unless you provide another preferred method of presentation for approval.

Pictures, videos, graphics, and other accentuations that would enhance and draw attention to the viewer are a must.

Please answer the questions on a powerpoint or flyer form.



What is the history of this disorder? What did they think was happening (i.e., evil spirits) to the person who was afflicted? And how did they treat it?

How does the disorder affect the person's behavior (How do they act, What symptoms do they display)?

What parts of the brain or central nervous system are affected? Please give me 3 structures, systems and/ or neurotransmitters 

How is it currently being treated? Medications? Therapy? Etc. Name 3 ways it is being treated and explain the treatments. 

How do psychologists help people who have this disorder with its effects?

What new research is currently being conducted to improve treatment and where and by whom?

Please include a case study, such as a musician, artist, celebrity, or any other case you deem interesting (this can be personal, if you choose).

Place all websites you have used in your research on the back page. 

You are to do as many slides as it takes to convey (deliver) your message, but do not heap (pile or cram) tons of information on to one slide. Please use animations and transition to give your presentation a smooth

This will go under exam grades. I could raise your overall grade anywhere from .3 to .8. It can also hurt your grade if you do not do it or do it incorrectly. 

How to do corrections (There is an example on the bottom):

Open the exam you just took.
Only items that are incorrect need to be corrected and you may use your notes or the internet to answer questions.
On word document, please complete assignment as instructed in #4, 5, and 6.
4. If a question was multiple choice, write (or copy and paste) the entire question. 
5. Place a visual item next to half of the questions you complete. (Example: if you missed a question on the motor cortex, place a small picture after you have completed the correction (a breakdancer or whatever will help your remember).
6. You place the answer and an explanation (it may not "I don't know"). See example below.

Example: 

Question: 17. What brain structure is involved in facial expressions and possibly dreams?

Answer: Pons

Explanation: I remember that the hippocampus stores memories during sleep. I got them mixed up with sleep being involved in both.

You only have to do half of the personality disorders. Your choice

Only a few of you have taken my introduction class, but I'm sure you can think of some other stories. For the rest of you, I look forward to reading them. One of my favorite assignments. You can be as light hearted or as serious as you feel. This stays between us. 
A few parameters: If you write about current harm to self or other or things that are deemed outside the boundaries of the law, I am compelled by law to report. So you may want to keep this in mind.

With that being said, Enjoy!!
