Character Theory Paper Pre-Planning Worksheet
At the end of next week, you will have a Character Theory Paper due. In this 2-3 page paper, you will create a fictional person, or you can use a well-known current or historical figure, and detail the significant moments in this person's life. You will then interpret this person's decisions, behaviors, and possible life outcomes through the eyes of Freud, Jung, or Bandura. For this paper, you will have an opportunity to exercise your creativity as well as your comprehension, so far, of the theories and theorists you have studied thus far.
