Psychology 11
1. Students have chosen a behaviour or personality
disorder/mental illness to research. The library has been booked for all three
days (Monday to Wednesday) so that the students may research.
Criteria: research paper:
- A. Introduction (identify topic of research,
summarize main points (focus of their research), why you chose this topic).
Using “I”/first person is OK.
- B. Body of research paper: should include things
like physical/mental symptoms, who is most susceptible/diagnosed (age, gender,
culture, socioeconomic status are just a few examples), known
treatments/cures/success rates. How illness/disorder is approached by/accepted
in society, how it is portrayed in media.
o
Paper should contain 6-10 quotations
(introduced, integrated, cited, and explained). –Length
of paper will probably be 3-4 pages typed double-spaced. Hand-written is okay
as long as double-spaced, neat, blue or black ink.
- C. Conclusion: After researching, what new things
did you learn, did it change your bias/knowledge/understanding. If you know
someone with the disorder. If you are interested in doing further research
about topic or if your research has garnered interest in a similar or
different field of research.
o
Include a Works Cited list (in proper format; if you forget formatting rules check https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/03/ ).
- D. YOU will also provide a 3-5 minute presentation
to the class about their research topic Thursday and Friday this week, format
up to you (as long as not strictly relying on/reading notes).
Counselling 11
This group is working on a “Holiday Issues” helping group.
The assignment is to plan 6-8 sessions. We have
discussed the project at length last week and you have preliminary work done
already. You are in groups of 4 or 5. In class for the next three days you should be finishing up a FULL, DETAILED unit plan of all your sessions. You should have a GOOD copy of this as well as a good copy of a brochure of the
group. You were supposed to pitch Monday but as I’m not there it will be
Thursday/Friday this week. Your example sessions in-class of 45 minutes will
be next week as previously planned. You should ensure you have any
resources/handouts for my return Thursday.
Communications 12
1. You will be looking at short stories this week. Your TOC will choose either “The Lamp
at Noon” or “The Painted Door” from Inside Stories II or III (behind whiteboard
closest to door). Both stories are by Sinclair Ross. You need not take these home as you will have three
days to work on ONE story of TOC's choosing (we will look at the other story on Thursday).
2. After reading, complete, in full sentences, whatever
questions TOC assigns. Discuss as needed, brainstorm with TOC if you need help. You have time to work on questions in class.
3. If
you finish questions early, prep your in-class compare
and contrast paragraph (next week, written in-class Monday) by finding quotations from the story you would use to
support the following theme and thesis statements:
Theme statement: Individuals may feel isolated within
relationships.
Thesis: In Sinclair Ross’s “ ________(whatever story you
choose)_____”, (___character names) experience loneliness, ultimately leading
to conflict and tragedy.
4. Questions for Story #1 due at the beginning of Thursday's class.
