development, with students taking on different perspectives and using the concepts
of Id, Ego, and Superego to support their arguments.

Instructions: Provide students with case study scenarios that involve ethical
dilemmas. In small groups or individually, they will analyze the scenarios using a
decision-making framework that incorporates the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego.
They will identify the conflicting motivations and consider the potential consequences
of different courses of action.

Rubric:
- Application of decision-making framework: 10 pts
- Depth of analysis and consideration of consequences: 10 pts

Assessment Questions:
1) Identify the conflicting motivations present in the given case study scenario.
2) Analyze the potential consequences of different decisions in the scenario, based

3) Reflect on the importance of ethical decision-making in personal and social
contexts.

EXPLAIN:
1) Example of Teaching the Concept: Lecture and Discussion
The teacher will provide a lecture on the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego,
explaining their definitions and functions. Following the lecture, there will be a class
discussion where students can ask questions, clarify their understanding, and apply
the concepts to real-life examples.
2) Example of Teaching the Concept: Visual Aids and Technology Integration
The teacher will use visual aids such as diagrams or infographics to visually
represent the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego. Additionally, the teacher can
integrate technology by using interactive online resources or multimedia
presentations to enhance students' understanding of the concepts.

ELABORATE:
1) Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning

Task 1: Create a Character Analysis Portfolio

Students will choose a fictional character from a book, movie, or TV show and create
a portfolio that analyzes the character's personality based on the concepts of Id,
Ego, and Superego. The portfolio can include written analyses, visual
representations, and multimedia elements.
2) Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning

Task 2: Role-Playing in Real-Life Situations

Students will participate in role-playing activities that simulate real-life situations
where they need to make decisions. They will apply the concepts of Id, Ego, and
Superego to analyze their own motivations and conflicts in the given scenarios.

Teaching Strategy: Differentiation

Question 1: Explain the key differences between the Id, Ego, and Superego and
how they interact in shaping an individual's personality.

choice, using the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego.

Question 3: Discuss the ethical implications of understanding the psychodynamics

of personality in decision-making.

paper analyzing its relevance to the concepts of Id, Ego, and Superego. The
assignment overview should include the research question, guidelines for writing the
paper, and criteria for assessment.
2) Assignment Overview: Case Study Analysis
Students will analyze a real-life case study that involves a personality-related issue.
