Using fiction’s “Frankenstein” as a symbol of
extreme cognitive behavioral restructuring,
Windham CIP2 students at the Rudd Unit crafted
posters in October depicting this Halloween and lit-
erary character. These activities were part of a
special non-traditional day of instruction. Students
also played Cognitive bingo using class terms from
the Franklin Reality Model, competed in a version
of Jeopardy to review class concepts, and learned
about personality types, including their own.
