Introduction
Do you enjoy talking about your thoughts and beliefs? If you do, this assignment Is perfect for you! The Social Cognitive Theory explains how people develop and learn behavior based on their peers and outside environment. This means that you learn things from friends and family that influence how you behave. Behaviorism consists of all behavior that people learn through interactions with the environment. Lastly, Cognitive Psychology refers to the study of how the brain works and how people learn and process information.
Task
Students will be given a graphic organizer with the names of each theory at the top. I will discuss 3 different situations and each student individual student will be required to place which situation goes with each theory. This project will be done individually, and in groups. I will hand out the sheets with the graphic organizers and students will need a pencil to write down the situation number on their sheets.
Process
1.I will hand out papers with a graphic organizer on them
2.The graphic organizer will have 3 bubbles. One of the bubbles will have the Social Cognitive Theory on it, the second will have Behaviorism on it, and the third will have Cognitive Psychology on it.
2.We will go over 3 different real life situations as a class.
3.After we go over the first situation, I will give a few minutes and students will be required to write down the number 1 on their organizer, wherever they think that is goes.
4. When we go over the second situation, students will write down a number 2 in the bubble that they think it belongs
5. I will give more time, we will discuss one more situation, and the students will have to do the same thing for the last bubble.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the experience and assignment given allowed students to develop an understanding of the different theories and participate in a discussion and assignment over these theories. Students were given feedback about their answers and corrected If they were wrong. Students can begin to understand the way that themselves and their peers behave on a more mature level and start to ask questions and research more after this lesson.
Questions that can be researched:
1. Why do I react that way in certain situations?
2. What can I learn about behaviorism and surrounding myself with people that will have a positive impact on me?
3. How will the Social cognitive theory and cognitive Psychology impact me in the classroom?
