Middle School Psychology - Phobias. I have used this Phobias lesson for years in my 7th Grade Social Studies class when we are studying fear in our Psychology Unit. This Phobias lesson involves a PowerPoint that has students figure out how superstitious they are as well as try to guess 10 unique phobias by their scientific name then by images that represent the phobias. The students will then create an illustration that symbolizes a unique phobia by it's scientific name and a colorful illustration they create. The following day the class tries to guess the phobia they selected by the name and then by the illustration they created. This is one of those lessons that has been a golden oldie for me because every student voluntarily takes part in it and they always enjoy the next day trying to figure out what each other created. This also helps ease into discussions about what fears they have and how to address those fears. This could easily work in a Health class when discussing emotions or an English class to foster ideas for personal narratives. This also might be helpful for doing interdisciplinary work between the three. For a GREAT classroom management tool check out one of my BEST-SELLERS!
