Learn about the lives of 3 people living with OCD and identify how each deal with their disorder.

This tool allows you to take notes on any site, and it will stay on that site when you return -- great research tool!!

After, with a partner, create a Mind Map using the template I created. I have given you pieces of the Mind Map and you and a partner must figure out how to use the pieces to best construct an understanding of what life is like.  You can also incorporate information from the Monk episode we watched in class. Work collaboratively, both consuming the the same information, and add elements, change them, create more space if need be...

Psychology: How Do You Want You Generation to Be Perceived?

Directions: We have looked at your initial thoughts on your generation, we have seen how social media is being used by companies to capitalize on your likes, and you have read an article about how your generation is perceived by older generations...Its now time to communicate how you want to be perceived, and how you see the world around you.

Using the brainstorming session on how you would like to be perceived by others, develop your ideas further and create how you want to be viewed by other generations using content created and curated by you. Images, video, your own words, music, links, and more...all designed by you. Use this opportunity to express who you are as a Generation to those that may have an altered sense of who you are.

Requirements: Really...this is a way to clear some misconceptions up so I am not looking to place a requirement of elements on there.  However, I would like to see a whole slew of different elements on there, all in an effort to better understand your perspective on this topic.

Keep this convo going on social media! It will take some explanation to your friends about the topic, and you'll have to get creative with how you share it with others (QR Codes, link shortener) and a hashtag should be created.... I'm thinking #MyGenerationIs ... yeah that's a good one

World History: Holocaust Documentary - not an assignment

A documentary about a lost film from the liberation of Bergen-Belsen camp by the British and other camps during the end of WWII, including Auschwitz. A British filmmaker created a documentary in 1945 to show the indescribable scenes of what British soldiers found at one of the more famous camps in the Holocaust period.  What was finally finished 70 years later is a comprehensive and bracing look at how the Allies learned about the horrors of Nazi policies.

DISCRETION IS REQUIRED - although this is an unrated film, it includes extremely disturbing images of the discovery and clean up of a major prison campsite along with other camps (labor and extermination camps). Unflinching scenes of real dead bodies are strewn throughout the film and it can be extremely harrowing and shocking.
