For Friday

Today we worked on our understanding of Structuralism, Functionalism and Gestalt theories with the puzzles. Then we did a little practice with cognitive behavioral techniques.

Your homework for Friday is to work on your Modern Approach Poster with your group. I have a chart with examples of the requirements HERE. You will have to do some research on your own to complete the task.

Also due Tuesday of next week is your Outrageous Celebrity Assignment -I updated this assingment to reflect accurate examples. This can be presented in a poster, PowerPoint or paper.
