Unless comment below, your answer is ok.
My comments:
#2 Cognitive- feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness
Biological - sleeping and eating disturbances
#3 Theories were listed on a handout I gave you a couple weeks ago - theories include "lack-of-control theory," "quality-of-life theory," etc.
#4 Vulnerability factors: confiding personality, loss of mother at a young age, etc.
#5 school and personal issues were more prominent - for example, pregnancy at the top of the list
#6 Cognitive - teach skills to change thinking...recognize patterns and try to change them. Interpersonal - about improving relationships with people closest to you. Role-playing part of therapy
#8 Screening through first year is best
#9 causes largely unknown..possibly combination and environmental factors
#10 Finding the right drug "cocktail" and dose, staying on meds and sticking with therapy, etc.

I'll post your grade in gradebook.

Examples of Map Legends and Map Symbols (Plus Creative Tips and Project Ideas!)

Creative tips and projects for teaching students about legends (keys) on a map: 1. Create a scavenger hunt: Give students a map with a key and have them find different landmarks or features on the map. For example, you might ask them to find a park, a school, and a river. This is a fun way to get students engaged with maps and help them learn how to read legends. 2. Make your own map: Have students create their own maps of their school or neighborhood. They can include symbols for different features like buildings, parks, and roads. This is a great way to get students thinking about the different elements that go into making a map. 3. Use technology: There are many online tools that allow you to create custom maps with your own symbols and legends. Have students use these tools to create their own maps of their community or a fictional place. 4.

Ripped Paper World Map Project - Middle or High School Geography

Earlier this week I presented my students with a challenge. Create a world map using construction paper, glue, and a sharpie. No scissors.  Students were not allowed to use any tools to cut out their continents. They had to tear their continents from construction paper. After their continents were ready, students were asked to label them and then glue them in place.  Each student's map needed a title, compass rose, key, symbols, Equator, and Prime Meridian, and all the continents and oceans had to be labeled. Most of my students had a blast creating their maps. Of course, a couple students were anxious; worried their continents wouldn't look nice. With some reassuring, they proceeded and did just fine.  This activity is a perfect back-to-school or sub-day activity. It required very little prep and materials. I let my students use any color construction paper they wanted as long as they selected two different colors.  The results were fantastic! Grab your copy of the ...
