Part 3 is a group activity and it is worth 15 points. The teacher awards 10 of the points; each member of the group is responsible for awarding up to 5 of the points for each individual member of the group. If a member did not assist fully in the activity, it is recommended you award these points accordingly.
Your group will be answering a series of 6 questions about a specific theorist. It is recommended that you decide early on how you will divide up the work and what roles each group member will play. You may use the roles I created for the Freud web if you wish.

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NAME ON THE PAGE YOU CREATE so I can give you credit for it. If you don't create a page for your group, you won't get any credit for this assignment. Again, you will evaluate one another, so you can award up to 1 point for successful completion of each of the activities above. This will enable you to assist one another in assuring that all elements of the assignment are completed.
FINALLY, I want to make sure you know that I am not expecting works of art or web site design genius for this endeavor but I am expecting the links to work, the questions to be answered and a disk to be turned in by 10/24/02 with all the pages above in one folder appropriately labeled.
