Identify the famous person you have chosen to feature in your illustrative biography. Provide a brief overview of their life.

• Identify at least three credible sources that you will use to develop your biography.

Adjustment and Adaptation

• Describe how your chosen subject has adapted to their life circumstances. Do you see a healthy or an unhealthy adjustment in personality? Note that this will be totally dependent on the subject that you have chosen. For example, if you choose Jeffrey Dahmer, then the adjustment and adaptation will clearly fall into the unhealthy category.

Cognition

• Describe the role of cognition in the subject's life. From your research, how did this person think? Were they emotional or cerebral? How did clear or faulty thinking factor into their personality?

Culture

• Describe the cultural context of your subject's life. What role did culture play in the development of their personality?

Biology

• Describe the biological factors were at play in your subject's life. For example, if you choose Michael J. Fox, his Parkinson's disease would be a major biological factor in his adult personality.
