8 MENTAL DISORDERS: POPULAR MYTHS Exercise B
Set for individual work and pairwork checking. Make sure that students can correctly identify the main clause, the dependent clause and the linking word. Do the first transformation with the class to check that they know what to do. Note that they do not need to rewrite the main clauses. Also, if no agent is given they will need to supply one themselves.
Answers
Model answers: 1/2 See table below. 3 Suggested answers:
A People probably approach mental illness with fear and ridicule as a result of traditional beliefs.
B The true story of Eve White’s multiple personality disorder is the basis of the film The Three Faces of Eve (1957), which dramatizes Eve’s illness by exaggerating her unpredictability with sudden and startling changes of personality.
C The creation of an irrational internal world, and detachment from external reality are characteristic of schizophrenia, a widely misunderstood, inherited disorder.
D One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) is another film which represents the more alarming face of mental illness.
Exercise C
Tell students to look back at the essay questions in Lesson 8.2. You may also need to remind them of the topics which you decided are suitable for the essay.
Set all three questions for individual work and pairwork checking. Feed back with the whole class. Ask students to say what aspects of the plans and the extracts enabled them to be identified. Check that
Main clause A B
These traditional beliefs are probably responsible for the fear
A film such as The Three Faces of Eve (1957), […] dramatizes her illness.
Linking word with which which
C Schizophrenia is a widely misunderstood, disorder which
D
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) is another film
in which
students can match the parts of the extracts with the corresponding parts of the essay plan.
Answers Model answers:
1 Plan A = essay title E: Outline the differences and similarities between schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder.
Plan B = essay title D: Describe Asch’s conformity experiments. How do they explain the influence of the media on individual attitudes to mental illness?
2 Extract 1 = plan B Extract 2 = plan A
3 Extract 1 = Plan A, point 6: Conclusion, disorder 1 and 2 are similar; delusions, detachment from reality; but different causes and treatment Extract 2 = Plan B, point 1: Introduction: social importance of conformity; definition of conformity; give essay aims
Language note
Sometimes topic sentences are not the first sentences of a paragraph. As can be seen in point 1 of essay D, the first two sentences of the paragraph give the background to social cooperation and group pressure. The topic (conformity) is given in the third sentence.
Exercise D
Remind students about writing topic sentences. Set for pairwork. Even students who chose one of these two essay questions in Lesson 8.2 should refer to the model essay plans/notes in the Course Book. In all cases, students should write using their own words, i.e., paraphrase the ideas in the text.
