Theorists of Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology
Your Task:
You will be assigned a theorist in the discipline of anthropology, psychology or sociology. You

contributions to their field of study.
During the class conference, you will take on the role of your theorist and share their major
contributions to a small group of other theorists. Be prepared to defend your theorist’s
contributions to the study of humanity as your fellow theorists will have an opportunity to ask
questions.
Steps to Complete:
RESEARCH:
1) Carry out research on your theorist- complete the research sheet provided by your teacher
2) Prepare a 2-3 minute statement on the background history and major contributions by your
theorist. Choose a method of presenting this information in the form of either a Website or
Facebook template (paper or electronic), poster or a scrapbook/photo journal.
3) Find/make an artefact that best represents your theorist- bring this to the conference. This may
include a video of an experiment or an object that is significant to your theorist.
CONFERENCE:
4) At the conference, you are to role-play as your theorist- speak with others in your discipline to
discuss contributions and arguments
5) Mini Round Table Discussion- in groups of 6, carry out introductions of each theorist sharing
your info in the chosen format. This will be where other theorists have an opportunity to learn
more about your key findings and work. Be prepared to defend your significance to the
discovery of human development.
WRITTEN COMPONENT:
6) You have an opportunity to win a $5000 grant to put towards further research in your field of
study. In a 1 page written statement, present an argument supporting your contributions to the
