This critical thinking activity gets students involved and helps illustrate how deeply ingrained Nazi ideology was in prewar German society. By asking students to write a caption for cartoons from the book, then showing them the actual captions, students can see

Intro to Psychology: Myers Briggs Personality Test Activity
My students absolutely loved this assignment. They enjoyed spending time taking the personality test and it really made them think about different reactions they would have to certain situations. The test is also not very long so they are able to get through it quickly and then look at their results. This activity is helpful to introduce Psychology to students. If you really like the sound of this activity then consider purchasing my "Myers Briggs Assignment + Extension assignment" in my store.

Inside Out - Film Guide - PIXAR
This is a 27 questions film guide to get students critically thinking about the more complex parts of the brain and issues people go through that the film Inside Out captures so well. The depth of these questions requires the teachers to pause the video and discuss with the class. Most likely this will be appropriate for middle to high school level. I made the guide for my seniors and had some great conversations. Would be great in a psychology class as well.
