Major Assignment (30%)
- Describe the contents of all 3 chapters in The Drama of the Gifted Child, as if you are explaining Alice Miller’s ideas to a person who has never heard them before.
- Be thorough, be sure to discuss each chapter in detail, and explain what her ideas mean to you.
- Give your own opinions on whether you agree with her or not. Discuss what aspects you may agree with, and what aspects you may disagree with, and why.
You will be graded on your understanding of this book. While spelling and grammar will count for a portion of the grade, what is most important is your understanding of the material.
You may write this in an essay format, or you may approach it in a more direct assignment style approach.

As long as you cover all the material, I will leave the format up to you.
