My students are a rainbow of cultural and socioeconomic diversity in a rich urban environment. They are both artistically and academically motivated in their learning as they attend an arts/performing arts high school in which they have specific majors of study in the arts. They are also college-oriented and choose rigorous preparatory coursework such as College Board-level Advanced Placement classes.
They also enjoy expressing their knowledge and their art through classroom discussions and debates, group work, and hands-on experiments and projects.
My Project
My students need additional copies of the DSM-5: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders so that they can work with all class copies, received from DonorsChoose.org, in small groups. They will be given real case studies of individuals with mental disorders and will use the books to identify the symptoms of the disorder the case study has.
The printer ink is necessary for printing up the case studies and arranging them into stations.
The watercolor paper will be used by the students in creating their own Rorschach-style ink blots with watercolor paint. They also need a diagnostic book of Hermann Rorshach's inkblots to use when taking personality inventories of the original Rorschach inkblot plates as well as the ones they created in class.
DonorsChoose is the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.
As a teacher-founded nonprofit, we're trusted by thousands of teachers and supporters across the country. This classroom request for funding was created by Mrs. Antonietta McGoey and reviewed by the DonorsChoose team.
