PSYC 8762/PSYC 6766: Teaching of Psychology Week 4 Instruction Plan Template Select either a lecture or discussion topic that will be the basis of your instruction plan for a 1-hour, in-person lecture or discussion and a planned activity. For the lecture plan, the activity should be one that a class of 200 students can complete during the lecture in an introduction to psychology course. If you choose to have a discussion-based class, plan your activity for 25 students. What elements do you think are important to address in terms of content and activities? What class atmosphere are you trying to develop, and how will this discussion or lecture add to that development? You also create a PowerPoint presentation that will accompany your discussion or lecture. Your instruction plan should be in Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double spaced. It should detail the following: · A description of the design of the class (e.g., 200-student lecture or 25-student discussion section) · A summary of the introductory psychology topic you selected · An explanation of how much of the one hour allotted for this instruction is being designated for lecture/presentation, discussion, activity, question and answer, and closing comments · An explanation of the rationale based on learning theories examined in the course · An explanation of the activity (or strategies) used to engage students in the lecture or discussion topic Include citations as to where you retrieved the information and references.

· A summary of the introductory psychology topic you selected
· An explanation of how much of the one hour allotted for this
instruction is being designated for lecture/presentation,
discussion, activity, question and answer, and closing comments
· An explanation of the rationale based on learning theories
examined in the course

This template is for a full history and physical. For this course
include only areas that are related to the case.
Patient Initials: _______
Age: _______
Gender: _______
Note: The mnemonic below is included for your reference and
should be removed before the submission of your final note.
L =location
O= onset
C= character
A= associated signs and symptoms
T= timing

4. E= exacerbating/relieving factors
S= severity
SUBJECTIVE DATA: Include what the patient tells you, but
organize the information.
Chief Complaint (CC): In just a few words, explain why the
patient came to the clinic.
History of Present Illness (HPI): This is the symptom analysis

essential for patient care, coding, and billing analysis. Paint a
picture of what is wrong with the patient. You need to start
EVERY HPI with age, race, and gender (e.g., 34-year-old AA
male). You must include the seven attributes ofeach principal
symptom in paragraph form not a list. If the CC was
“headache”, the LOCATES for the HPI might look like the

Character: pounding, pressure around the eyes and temples
Associated signs and symptoms: nausea, vomiting, photophobia,
phonophobia
Timing: after being on the computer all day at work

section is based on what the patient tells you so ensure that you
include all essentials in your case (refer to Chapter 2 of the
