We just finished watching "Inside Out" from Pixar. The movie is a fantastic story of Riley and all of her emotions. But how accurate is it?
Please read the following article based on the movie: http://www.shrinktank.com/the-psychology-of-inside-out-how-accurate-is-it/
After reading, please answer the following questions:
1. How many emotions do we have according to the article, and what do they say about them?
2. The PFC (Pre-Frontal Cortex) controls what? How is it tied into the "headquarters" that "Inside Out" described?
3. What is important to understand about the PFC and a teen agers brain?
4. How are personalities and memories related to each other? Please give one example from the film and one example from your own life.
5. How do memories work? The movie explains them, but what is this article talking about? Five types of memory? Summarize what it explains.
Finally, what is the major "take-away" from the movie and our unit on bullying/suicide? We had guest speakers, lessons and the movie. If you had to give advice to anyone who is thinking of suicide, what would it be?
Please answer all of these questions and put into the dropbox by Wednesday the 6th.
