AP Psychology: Unit 12 Disorders Ms. McClory and Ms. Paske
Fractured Fairy Tale Project Spring 2017
You and a partner are going to rewrite a common fairy tale giving the main character(s) your disorder.
-
Choose a fairy tale you are familiar with (refer to the list provided, if you are having trouble coming up with one).
-
Using your textbook and any other research of the disorder, rewrite the story as it would be if the main character had that disorder.
-
Stories should NOT name the disorder, but should describe it within the story.
-
Type the finished story and include name(s) and class period(s). You should list the disorder under the heading BUT you will not read that to the class.
-
Be prepared to discuss your character(s) and their disorder.
