o
o
o
o
Write 1-2 page paper explaining Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? on your topic person
Include at least one picture with an image credit (cut/paste URL under image)

Select additional design features (bold, italics, underscore, color, etc.) as needed but don’t overwhelm the
information presented in the paper

directions).

Originality counts!
Emphasize the facts in your sources and cite them correctly.
Keep your writing clear, concise, and organized.
Include these sections:
Personal biography (Who? When? Where?)
Education, job title, location (What? How? Any connections w/ other famous
psychologists?)
What is this person known for? (What? When? Where? How? Why?)
Conclusion (In your opinion, why is this person relevant in the field of
psychology?)
You can call the required sections anything you’d like, as long as you provide the necessary information.
Look for sources published within the past 5 years (2009-2014). If none are available, you can go back 10
years (2004-2014). Ask before using any source published prior to 2004!
Your textbook is an excellent source of information for this assignment.
As you work through these directions, check off every item you complete.
Following these steps, in order, will help you write a great paper!
1.
You need to find and use three of the source types from this list (more will be better than less):
o
Biographical information (can be any of the following types of sources as long as it is authoritative and
legitimate)
Article in a major newspaper or magazine (think nationally or internationally available!)
Article in a professional research journal (you can find these through MCL or OSLIS)
Book by or about your psychologist
Multimedia interview or presentation (video, podcast, website transcript)
Professional website (.org or .edu)
Social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc. if it’s a professional site related to the person’s career. We’re not
interested in posts about anyone’s pets or who ate what for breakfast!)
o
o
o
o
o
o
2.
Using the search engine of your choice (Google is good), perform a quick, preliminary search on your
topic person.
o
o
o
Quick means 5 minutes or less!

Critical thinking is necessary. Look carefully at the .edu sources. Have you found a professional site
created by your topic psychologist? Is it an official university or college page? Do you think it may be a
student’s assignment which has been posted online? Which type of source is most appropriate for this
assignment and why?

Write your References list using APA citation format. How should you do this?
o
Consult Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab for complete, step by step directions

examples for different types of sources.
Use the Cornell University Library site for APA citation
https://www.library.cornell.edu/research/citation/apa
Try OSLIS Citation Maker http://secondary.oslis.org/@@apa

the finished citation for each source.

Now it’s time to write your biography.
o
o
Review the information on page 1 of this packet.
Use the Purdue OWL https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ or the Cornell University
Library APA citation page https://www.library.cornell.edu/research/citation/apa , for information on
in-text citations.
Every idea which isn’t yours needs an in-text citation. If you are summarizing or paraphrasing a source, you
include author and date like this: (Last name, year of publication). The flow of every sentence you write is
important, so you don’t want to interrupt that. Here are some examples:
According to Author (2000), psychology is essential.
Psychology is essential (Author, 2000).
If you are using a short direct quote, you need to include a page number after the year of publication.
According to Author (2000), “psychology is essential” (p. 1).
As we all know, “psychology is essential” (Author, 2000, p. 1).
The official name of an organization, such as American Psychological Association, counts as an author if this is
what you have on your References list.
It takes years for students to become experts in this, or any, citation system. Please be patient with this part
of the assignment. Use the space below to write notes or questions for your teacher and librarian.
