Instructional Ideas
  • Flip the lesson asking class members to view the video and research some of the links before returning for a full class discussion
Classroom Considerations
  • Be aware that given the percentages, it is likely that some class members have personal knowledge of the disorder; research the types of support systems offered at your school and in your community
Pros
  • Bipolar disorder is presented as a medical condition that can be treated
Cons
  • The open-ended discussion question is unlikely to generate discussion; prepare several questions to begin the post-viewing discussion
