A few notes for the final exam:
1. DO NOT go crazy with tons of memorized details. This is not the focus of the essay. I know you are feeling stressed because it seems like a lot. PLEASE, the intent of the final is for you to showcase what you have learned by focusing on two disorders. DO NOT spend a lot of time on details (such as listing every characteristic, or cause, or therapy, etc.)
2. I will post a sample outline via video tomorrow AM.
3. Below is a more general sample outline -- I altered what I did in the review session today. THIS IS NOT what the essay must be like for everyone.
4. Tie in c/g/e/m where possible
Outline:
P1: Introduction
--Define what is considered "abnormal" behavior
--Identify the disorders you will cover
--Theme/Thesis -- what these two disorders have in common
P2: Explain the theme/thesis
--Here you can also define both of the disorders
BE SURE TO CONNECT BACK TO YOUR THESIS AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE!
P3: Characteristics of disorder 1
P4: Explain two causes of disorder 1
P5: Analysis of causes - (diathesis-stress model might help here)
P6: Therapy
P7: Characteristics of disorder 2
P8: Two causes of disorder 2
P9: Analysis of causes - (diathesis-stress model might help here)
P10: Therapy
P11: Tie it all together
P12: Conclusions

The review session really helped me. Thanks Mr.Caro!
If I have questions, can I just e-mail you/ or should i blog post them...?
thanks again,
Lauren
Feel free to e-mail me Lauren!
Thanks for posting this outline!
Also next time around you should consider giving out the blue checklist at the beginning of the unit because many people got confused about which sections were the right ones to take notes on.
Sure. But try not to get to stressed about the blue sheet. I am not involved with that -- Mrs. Watkins is. It is simply a checklist to make sure you turn everything in.
This is extremely helpful with my outline process. Thank you so much!
Great! Stay tuned for the video either late tonight or tomorrow AM.
well i think caro is making a fine job out of a stresssful situation! =] hahaha
