I collected and went over Kohlberg's Moral Development and Worksheet.
We discussed our Trading Cards from Unit 4 and how they applied to our unit of study and then turned them in.
Next, our discussion focused on Erikson's Psychosocial Stages of Development.
We broke up into groups and then presented a short skit on each of the 8 developmental stages.
Then we finished the Experts Video on the main issues in adolescence and adulthood. This led us to the midlife transition and the research of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. We watched a fun video on the 5 stages of Grief.
Finally, we saw the homework that will prepare us for the Unit 4 Exam on Monday 11/30
