Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
This class is ideal for students who have an interest in psychology and psychological disorders. Have you ever wondered why Ariel collected 20 thingamabobs that she had no use for? Or why Scar was so mean to his own family?  We will answer those questions and more.

No prior psychology experience is needed, but students should be familiar with the Disney characters that will be referenced. We won't be watching movie clips during the class.

I use slides, gifs and chat box polls to enhance learning and encourage participation.  

This is an educational, fact-based course, and not a counseling or therapy group. 

The class will have three components.
I.   What is a psychological disorder
II.  What disorders do Ariel (Little Mermaid), Gaston (Beauty & the Beast), Scar (Lion King), Elsa (Frozen), Piglet (Winnie the Pooh) and Mother Gothel (Tangled) illustrate. All disorders will differ from the psychological disorders discussed in my other one-time courses (Mickey's Friends, Superhero, Cartoon and The Office Characters)
III. What are the basic elements of the disorders illustrated by the Disney characters, as outlined by the DSM 5 (Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

I have a structured, yet humor-filled teaching style, designed to keep student's interest, allow for discussion, and help learners feel comfortable.  

While participation is always welcomed, I assure learners they will never be called on, so that they can relax and learn the information.

Learning Goals

1]  Learners will be able to define psychological disorder
2]  Learners will be able to identify psychological disorders illustrated by six Disney characters
3]  Learners will be able to identify at least 2 elements of each psychological disorder, as outlined by the DSM 5 (Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parents know best if their child will more comfortable with them by their side. The content of this course doesn't require a parent, but the nature/personality of the specific learner may.
Supply List
There will be a handout uploaded to the classroom prior to the lesson, which learners can use to follow along and take notes.

YouTube and Disney + is a good resource for viewing clips of each Disney character, in order to refresh learner's memory prior to class. There will be no videos/movie clips used in this class.
