The Goal of this project is for you to demonstrate a thorough understanding of Psychology. The way in
which you demonstrate this understanding will be based on your personal strengths/interests.
You will chose ONE project option from the choices listed below. Each project option is designed to play
to your strengths, or multiple intelligences, as education professionals call them. Everyone has a type of
intelligence where they excel and some they could develop further.
You need to take the Birmingham Multiple Intelligence Test (BMIT) online:
(http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lan
g.cfm). Then write down the type(s) of intelligence you tested strongest in: __________________________________
Using this as a resource you may want to choose a project option that plays to your strengths. Or, you
may just want to choose the project that sounds most interesting and inspiring to you. Your project will
be much better, and you’ll probably get a better grade, if you do. All projects require a significant amount
of time and effort, so trying to choose the “easiest” will not benefit you—there is no easy option here.
All projects will be scored using the attached rubric.
Most projects must be done individually but some, like a video or skit, can include two
to three (3 total is the max) people as long as both appear in it equally. Remember you
