Unit 4 reading and reminder about Wednesday

Just as a reminder (and for B block, since I think I forgot to tell you), we won't have class Wednesday 2/12. Please make sure you sign in in Old Hall.  There are about 12 textbooks in my room that you can sign out if you want to get some reading done.  The media center also has a few copies.

B block:
115-124 for Thursday 2/6
123-133 for Friday 2/7
133-141 for Monday 2/10
141-150 for Tuesday 2/11
151-159 for Wednesday 2/12
159-169 for Thursday 2/13
Due Monday after break - this small but potentially grade-boosting assignment on an interesting sensory/perceptive experience you have over break.

Since your midterm is Tuesday 1/21 and you'll be reading the states of consciousness chapter next week, your sleep infographic project won't be due until Wednesday 1/22.  Here are the more specific requirements.

A few reminders...

Welcome back from our extended vacation!  Here are a few notes and reminders as we get back into the swing of things:

1. Your unit 10 test on personality is Thursday 1/9.  This will still give us enough time to go over the key points from the chapter in class.  It will mean we won't be doing a project for this unit, but you'll very likely be doing a personality-based assignment in May when we have some time after the AP exam.
2. Extra credit that was originally due Friday 1/3 can be handed in any time before the end of this week (Friday 1/10).  
3. Please keep tracking your sleep!  The requirements for this sleep project are listed in the previous post.

 Over break: Starting 12/26, start keeping track of: 
-how many hours of sleep you get -your caffeine intake
-your energy level and mood at three points during the day:
--when you wake up
--in the mid-afternoon
--at night

 Your energy level should be tabulated as a number between 1 (little energy) and 10 (highly energetic) Likewise, track your mood using a number between 1 (awful mood) and 10 (fantastic mood). Please note any unusual circumstances that might affect your sleep, caffeine intake, energy level, or mood. How you choose to keep track of your data is up to you. Keep in mind that you will be doing some analysis of this data, so it should be organized in a sensible way. I will be looking for your data from Dec. 26 through Jan. 2, so don't skip a day.

 Due by Friday after break and worth 5 points on your last test:

 Go to http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/Default.aspx, register and choose either two shorter tests (10 questions or less) or one longer test (20 or more questions), and write a short summary and analysis. Either print out your results or include them in your write-up. Also comment on how accurate you found your results and whether you think this test has value. Length should be about 1 typed, double spaced page in 12 point font. Please choose a test other than the Via Strengths test (longer version), since we'll be doing that one later this year.
