Psychology Biography Mini-Poster
Due Date: 9/4/2013
Use a half-sheet or full sheet of poster board to create a mini-poster about one of the prominent
psychologists mentioned in the Introduction or another section of the Psychology text. You may
need to use the index and the other chapters in the text to develop information about the
individual you choose. Be prepared to discuss your poster.
Illustrate your poster with drawings or images of the individual, and other relevant images that
add to understanding. Be sure to cite any sources of images or information. If you use a web site
to get a photo, cite the original web page, not the search engine site. For example:
http://zimbardo.com/zimbardo.html
Check with me before you choose an individual. We don’t want a roomful of posters of Philip
Zimbardo!
