Part I: Website, Infographic, or BrochureGoal: Your assignment is to create an original product using the medium of your
choice on your psychological disorder, much like something you would see at a
doctors office/website, hospital, or health center.
o Please make it interesting, creative and catchy.
o Remember, you want to help people who know someone, or is
themselves struggling with this disorder if they see it.
You may create quotes for characters in your product.
o For example, I was so sad that I couldnt get out of bed for days. I had no
appetite, and I slept all day. Shannon, age 35
Your work must include the following:
What is the disorder? Is there a history that goes with it (may not have a history)?

You are going to rewrite a common fairy tale giving the main character(s) your
disorder.
Choose a fairy tale you are familiar with (refer to the list provided). Two people
may not use the same story (first come, first serve).
Using your researched knowledge of the disorder, rewrite the story, as it would be
if the main character had that disorder.
Stories should NOT name the disorder, but should describe it within the story. (i.e.
Rapunzel has been hearing voices telling her that if she cuts off her hair, she will
turn into an airplane and will be able to escape the castle.)
Type the finished story and include your name on the top of the page.
Should be at least 3 paragraphs, 5 sentences each- Should have a beginning,
middle and end.
Be prepared to discuss your character(s) and their disorder.
An emailed and printed copy should be provided on the due date.
Be sure to incorporate the source of your story into you Bibliography page.
DO NOT TELL OTHER GROUPS WHAT FAIRY TALE YOU ARE USING!

Finally, while we may have fun with these disorders, please remember that they
can be a form of personal suffering for those with the disorder and those who
live with them and love them. Be respectful, and please do not do anything that
may offend someone who has the disorder or knows someone who does.
