Biloxi High School

1. Get into a class group.
   
2. Select a familiar childhood story or “fairy” tale (different story for each group)
   
3. Retell or recreate the story, within the following guidelines:

• a. at least 3 characters have psychological disorders or chronic problems
• b. at least one character who is a mental health professional working from a specific perspective
• c. at least 12 psychological terms or concepts used/obviously embedded within plot/dialogue (cleverly); these can be from any chapter

4. Present your version of your story to the class (10-12 minutes per group) (Date TBA)
   
5. You may use props or media – be as creative as you like
6. All members of your group must be obvious participants
7. While we are all looking to be entertained, the intellectual, course-related content must be present.
8. While we are all looking to be entertained, the presentation must be G-rated and in good taste.
9. Presentation must be accompanied by a two page handout (for me) which includes:
1. the retold/recreated story (lines with dialogue; can be written in the style of a play); must include list of actors/characters
2. for each person’s disorder, include a description of symptoms and an appropriate therapeutic method
3. for the mental health professional, a description of his/her method  or perspective
4. list of the psychological terms & definitions, concepts to be included
10.  Divide labor and assign jobs asap, that way people can work on this during the week, even if others in the group are testing.

• Leave your words of wisdom about learning psych for those who will follow in your footsteps.
• Make a list of "best" activities/assignments and advise for Ms. Manners to incorporate into next year's class.
