So, I just stopped into the curriculum library that they have in the Education Building and I found what I have been looking for for quite a while there. I have been looking for a psychology textbook or curriculum and had only found one on "the science behind mental illness" (and ADHD was on there, which I don't know how I feel about. I plan on reading that curriculum in order to find out why ADHD is in there.). But today, I asked if they had any psychology curriculums and they told me "we have psychology books." So, today I found four separate books, tomorrow at 3:15, I am going to go down to the Curriculum library and decide which of those four I am going to choose. And then, I need to decide which chapter in the book that I do choose.
I just looked at the syllabus again, and it asked me to find a textbook, and that is what I found. So, I am really excited for this project.
So, I am going to tell a little about this assignment. We have to modify a textbook unit so that a student who reads at a 2nd or 3rd grade level will be able to participate in the class. It has to be a unit from a 6th grade or higher science or social studies book. The psychology books that I just looked at were 12th grade, so I will have my work cut out for me. The reason that I chose a high school book and a high school subject (psychology) is because I plan on teaching in a high school and I am very interested in psychology. I feel that if I do a unit that I am interested in, I will be much more likely to make it really fun and cool, and actually work on it for most of the semester.
