unit 4 reading

Despite any more snow that Mother Nature may send our way, we are pressing on as scheduled.  The AP exam is May 5th and it isn't moving, so we can't continue to push back our class deadlines.

If you're without a book, you can find the pages digitally here:  115-124, 125-133, 134-140.  (These are large files, so you'll need to download them, and be patient).
Also, there are five subscriptions to an online version of the textbook that Mr. Sandler gave out to his classes, and I've heard they've been shared widely via Facebook.  If you ask around, I'm sure you'll be able to get access to one.

Throughout the snowy season, plan on leaving your Myers book at home, as I asked you to do at the beginning of the year anyway.  (If you want to get reading done at school, you can borrow a copy from me or from the media center).

115-124 for Monday 2/2

unit 11 test update

Unit 11 test is moved to Friday so that we can have Thursday for recap and review.

D block, check out the links in the last post about the Australian, American-Australian and Chitling intelligence tests, since we won't have a chance to do those in class.

Otherwise, be sure to use your *visual-spatial* and *creative* intelligences to build some snowmen (not required, just a suggestion).

Friday's class

I won't be in school Friday.  Please keep up with your reading, and familiarize yourselves with the intelligence tests below:

B block:  Pick up the following intelligence tests in paper copy, or check them out online:
Original Australian Intelligence Test,  American/Australian Intelligence Test, Chitling Intelligence Test.  Each of these tests provides a link to answers at the bottom of its webpage - click on "go to scoring sheet."  You can also check your answers to yesterday's tests here.

D block:  Pick up the Remote Associations test, World War I intelligence test, and the Mensa workout.  You can check your answers here.  The Mensa workout is also available online here.

Unit 11 reading

We're going to move through unit 11 fairly quickly; however, this should be manageable because there's a good amount that you'll find is familiar (as with sleep and drugs in the consciousness chapter), as well as a lot of extending of concepts you've already learned (e.g. heritability, twins studies, cultural differences).

B block:
Due Wednesday 1/21:  523-532
Due Thursday 1/22:  532-539
Due Friday 1/23:  539-548
Due Monday 1/26:  548-556

D block:
Due Wednesday 1/21:  523-532
Due Friday 1/23:  532-544 (try to split this over the two nights you have)
Due Monday 1/25:  544-556 (again, more than I'd give you ideally, but you will find the note above especially true for these sections.  Pay special attention to the last few pages on test bias - that's new and of particular importance).

midyear review practice test

Here's the test that I gave out (part of) in hard copy, and here is the answer key and free response scoring rubrics.

unit 5 due dates

Note that we're moving rather quickly through this unit, but much of it is information I suspect you've learned before in other classes (the effects of drugs) or just reaffirms what you already know (about sleep especially).  In other words, it should be manageable.

B block:
175-181 for Thursday 1/8
181-192 for Friday 1/9
192-201 for Monday 1/12
201-210 for Wednesday 1/14
Midyear exam (including questions from unit 5) is Friday 1/16 (note the change).  The exam will be the usual format:  35 multiple choice questions and a free response prompt that uses 6 terms.

D block:
175-181 for Thursday 1/8
