Rorschach Directions
Rorschach Test Research Project
Directions: Write a report on the Rorschach test. It should be five paragraphs long and have a good beginning, middle, and end. You need to have an outline first that is approved by me before you write the final draft. Make sure to include a works cited and keep track of where you get your information. The outline and final draft should be shared with me using google drive.
In addition, create an ink blot using paint and ask three people what they see. Record your observations. Did all the people see the same thing? Could you see all the pictures that the other people saw? Do you think this test says anything about personality? Why or why not?
Outline
You need to clearly show what the topic sentence, details and concluding sentences are going to be. You are not writing your entire report here, but organizing your information.
Final Draft
The first paragraph is your introductory paragraph and should tell readers what they are going to write about, but not have all the details.
The middle three paragraphs are where your details are. Each paragraph should be organized with all the same information in one paragraph.
The fifth paragraph is your concluding paragraph. This summarizes everything you wrote about.
Each paragraph should include:
1. Topic sentence
2. Three details
3. Concluding sentence
My email is jbryan@stmsf.org. There will also be a copy of these directions posted on our blog for your reference.

Bahiti's Mummification Ritual
He was our favorite family member, he always made people happy when he was around. He entered many competitions like Egypt's Got Talent, The Squawk, and Egypt's Master Chef. The day his egg was laid we were filled with joy! His feathers, were pure gold, his beak, pure white. He was the best chicken ever! We hope, that he may live in peace in the afterlife. Bahiti was a wonderful chicken. He would cook for the pharaoh and practiced fencing after school. He would knit sweaters for his mother and scarves for his father. On weekends, he would go out and work in the fields. Some of his favorite things were apples, pink unicorns, and harvesting pink apples with Ra and Thoth. He also liked to play with his kids. When he had spare time, Bahiti would play basketball at a gym with his friends.
We had a great time learning all about the mummification procedure and created one of our own rituals for our chicken Bahiti. We will be continuing on with this project for the next several weeks to see the changes the mummification process has.
Click here for pictures of our mummification and ritual. Check out the pictures of the life size god/desss on the closet doors as well!
