A Lesson in Speed Dating

September 28, 2016

The Year 12 Psychology students enjoyed their ‘Psychologists Cocktail Party’ on Wednesday 28th September. Students were each allocated a well-known psychologist to research and represent, such as Freud, Bandura and Loftus. At the cocktail party, the students had a ‘speed dating’ activity where they had 2 minutes to meet each psychologist, to find out about each other’s roles. They then had to choose which psychologist was most similar in views to their own role. The students prepared really well for the cocktail party and enjoyed the refreshments in the specially decorated classroom.
