To engage student to research a specific psychological disorder from different perspectives.
Objectives:
• Describe common symptoms of research team’s given mental disorder.

• Locate local and online resources for information and services regarding prevention and treatment strategies for given mental health disorders.
Curriculum Standard: SS 12.P.52 Categories of psychological disorders.

For my ELL students, they are perfectly welcome to find resources in their language and share with the class how culturally diverse mental illness and resources can be.
