Significant Contributors to Psychology

This week Psychology 1 students are researching "Significant Contributors" to the various fields of Psychology.  Monday and Tuesday students should be researching their assigned psychologist and preparing an informational poster about that individual. Wednesday (August 24) the poster should be complete and will be on display in the Psych classroom for our "Walk Through Psychology History".

Below are some sites that could be used to research information for your informational poster.
