This lesson should take place after learning all four definitions (failure to function adequately, deviation from ideal mental health, statistical infrequency and deviation from social norms). It is designed to help students consolidate/review their knowledge of all four definitions. The lesson begins with a matching task with requires students to identify whether the evaluation points are strengths or weaknesses and more importantly which definition of abnormality they relate to. The students are required to complete an application task which requires them to read scenarios and identify which definition of abnormality would deem the behaviour abnormal and why. There are then two application style exam questions with answers (for self-assessment). Finally students one of two activities to review all definitions. ‘Numbered heads together’: (groups of 4 and ask them to number themselves 1-4. Put one of the questions on the powerpoint up and give students 1 minute to dicuss. Finally, select a number at random and one person in each group must offer some feedback. Quiz Quiz Trade: These are pre-prepared flashcards (see attached) with a question and answer. The aim is to have students work in pairs/groups to ask questions and answer questions.

A fully resourced lesson covering 2 definitions of abnormality. The starter requires students to organise the card sort into behaviours/characteristics that are abnormal or normal with a justification. Then the powerpoint outlines the key aspects of each of these definitions allowing students.Students then organise the behaviours again but to include some justification using the content which they have learned.

This starts with two discussion tasks in which students consider the strengths and weaknesses of each definition and then they are provided with a framework (evaluate-student handout) to help complete this using the powerpoint.
