Your sleep project is due next Tuesday 1/29 (note the change from Monday).  The specifics are listed below.

Here are your due dates for unit 11.  Please remember to bring your own original notes to class - a homework quiz this unit is very likely:

Your sleep project is due Tuesday 1/29 - see below
p. 539-548 for Wednesday 1/30
p. 548-556 for Thursday 1/31
the test date for this unit is Tuesday 2/5 (you won't have a project, but will likely have a smaller assignments, like the personality test analysis assignment)

Here are guidelines for part 2 of the sleep project.  I'll be looking for a 2 page (typed, double-spaced) well-organized narrative write-up for this that includes the following: 

1. Compare your vacation ("control" week) sleep schedule to your schedule the first week back from break, noting any trends you see. Consider the following in your response: 

·         What did you learn about your sleep patterns (and related behaviors) how they affect you? 

·         What changes could you make to your sleep schedule to improve it? How realistic is it to expect you’ll be able to implement these changes? 

·         Overall, what value does this project (and this unit) have for you?  Would you say this helped you to understand your own sleep-related behaviors more, or did it just reinforce what you already knew?  Explain. 

2. Make an attempt to interpret one or more of dreams/dream fragments using at least 2 different dream theories.  If you don’t remember any dreams, you may include 2 additional terms from previous units instead (see #3 below).
3. Include and clearly, correctly apply 3 terms from the chapter and be thoughtful about which terms you use.  You’re welcome to use the obvious ones (like “sleep” or “dream”) as long as it’s very clear you understand the book definitions of the term and don’t just throw them around generally, but choose 3 others in addition to these and in addition to the dream theories you selected.    

Grading will be based on:

_____ / 10 Neatness and completeness of sleep chart

_____ / 10 Clarity of organization and fluidity of writing

_____ / 10 Thoughtfulness of analysis and responses to the prompts

_____ / 10 Clear and thoughtful application of terms

_____ / 40
