Week 5

We will finish preparing our presentations for next lesson.

Activity: We will take turns presenting on our historic experiments.

Presentation: Intro to Personality

Presentation: Intro to Personality

Activity: Complete the Big 5 Personality Test

Article: Then read this article on the Big 5

Discussion: What do you think about the Big 5 as a personality test? What do you/don't you like about it? Can you think of any criticisms?

Talk with the people at your desk first, then we will discuss as a class.

Activity: Answer the following questions (in your book or on your computer) - use your own knowledge, don't research anything at this point:

1. Do our experiences and upbringing change our personality over the years?

2. Is our personality set/influenced by our genetics? i.e. something we're born with?

3. Are our behaviours entirely our own responsibility?

4. Is it hard to change something about your personality if you want to?

Activity: Think, Pair, Share - after you've had a chance to answer the questions, find a partner to discuss them with.
