TIMELINE & PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENT

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Each group will create a collaboratively constructed Collage/Timeline for the development of 20th Century Psychology. (Use butcher paper or multiple sheets of poster board or easel paper, so that it can be seen across the room.) The timeline should highlight issues of interest to the group. Depth of focus and originality of design will be important.
 
2. Present the Timeline to the class, along with a 20 minute discussion relating perspectives your group has studied in the history of modern psychology to a major issues or problem of interest to your group. The discussion should show evidence of research and thoughtful preparation, although the research will be mostly research that has been done for prior sections of the course.
 
The collage and oral report will be graded as a group and will be worth 20 per cent of the final letter grade.

3. Each student will include an Annotated Bibliography of the research contributed to the group presentation in his/her final portfolio.
