IB kids are self-motivated! We're A+ students! We're perfectionists! We expect only the best from ourselves!
Except, of course, when we don't.
The above are some photos from Psych class of the posters that my friends and I made for an in-class project. The assignment was to draw a body, and then label all the parts with how they are affected by stress. As you can see, we took it very seriously. The sloppy, you-should-be-a-doctor handwriting belongs to yours truly. I would advise against trying to read it. (There have been reported cases of blindness, hysteria, erectile dysfunction, spinal injuries, and death as a result of to read my handwriting.) The eyes on the large drawing are also my work. Someone commented after Roi drew the (horrible) mouth that our person had no eyes, so I remedied the problem quickly. Very quickly. Too quickly. The result had us rolling around on the floor in hysterical laughter (to our credit, we were on the floor already, working on the posters). Roi drew the beautiful heart. Those yellow things are kidneys, and the purple things are the adrenal glands; not to be confused with the bruise on the right arm. The brain melted as a result of sitting in an SAT room for 300 hours, the stomach (yes, that lime green thing) is trying to digest the lungs, the intestines are disconnected from the rest of the body, and the spleen deflated. Stress is really bad for you! ...says the IB blog.
The smaller purple person (the "exhaustion" stage of fight-or-flight) was drawn by Goa and another friend. It came out all wobbly because they were laughing at the eyes I drew. Not quite sure what the story is behind the horns, or what the "resistance to infections" is pointing to... (stress makes your thighs infected?) The smaller green person (the "alarm" stage) was drawn by me, which you can tell because the handwriting is a combination of Korean, Elvish, and ASL.
So, yes. This is what IB kids do in class. As assignments. And the thing is, we'll probably get full points for it.
