Unit 1 - Project Option-
During Unit 1 we have been exploring what is Psychology. I will be wrapping this unit up within the next week and a half so I thought I might give you a heads up on how you will be evaluated for understanding of the content. I am going to use a unit project that will be formatted as a google slide show. The directions for the slide show are down below-
Unit 1 Option- In some sort of visual display
* title page with your name and hour. (plus an image) minimus 1 slide
*define psychology and its goals. The definition and the goals should each get their own
slide complete with some sort of visual (a picture, chart or illustration). minimum 2 slides
*Show four major contributors to the field and discuss why you think they are important (what did they do).
you should include a picture of each of the contributors and try to give each one a slide) minimum 4 slides
*Discuss the six major perspectives that explore the issues of psychology today. (include some sort of visual for
each perspective- each perspective should have a slide Minimum 6 slides
*Describe at least four methods of observation with an example/image to illustrate each concept. Minimum 4 slides
*Describe three ways (with examples) in which psychology practices scientific procedures-
one must be the scientific method. (placebo effect, blind and double blind are examples- use visuals Minimum 3 slides
*Describe at least five careers in Psychology. (include a visual with each career) Minimum 5 slides
THE PROJECT AS A WHOLE MUST HAVE AT MINIMUM 25 SLIDES WITH BOTH TEXT AND PICTURES!
