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
181-192 for Friday 1/9
192-201 for Tuesday 1/13
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.

happy vacation!

An update about the personality project:  I'm going to scrap it, since I think it'd be a bit much for you to handle along with reviewing for your unit 10 test (Wednesday Jan. 7th), reading the next unit and reviewing for the midyear exam in January.  So, we may do it later in the year after the AP, but it's off your plate for now.

B block only - for Monday's class

Please meet in the Media Center on Monday 12/22.  We'll be using the Chrome books to do this activity.

Good Will Hunting permission

You can find it here.  Please bring it (or a note) to class tomorrow (Wednesday 12/17).

unit 8 reading and other assignments

As a brief note:  these reading assignments are a little longer than I'd usually give you, but I suspect you'll find that some of the material will already be familiar to you, which will make it manageable.

B block:
27-336 for Monday 11/17
337-348 and print advertisement (see above) for Tuesday 11/18
349-354 for Wednesday 11/19

366-376 for Monday 11/24
377-387 for Tuesday 11/25
387-396 for Wednesday 11/26
397-406 for Monday 12/1
Authentic happiness surveys response due Wednesday 12/3

D block:
27-336 for Monday 11/17
337-348 and print advertisement (see above) for Tuesday 11/18
349-54 for Thursday 11/20
354-362 for Friday 11/21 (and bizarre food!)
366-376 for Monday 11/24

387-396 for Wednesday 11/26

Print Ad:
For Tuesday 11/18, please bring a print advertisement (or advertisement that you print from digital media) that contains a striking image (it may strike you as either  positive or negative way) and is about 8"x11" in size (i.e. not a teeny tiny picture). This will count as a 10 point homework assignment, and should be a fairly easy way to get 10 points.

Bizarre Food Bazaar:
The bizarre food bazaar is Thursday for B block and Friday for D block - be ready with a sampling of your bizarre food!  Again, it should be something that is unusual, i.e. you don't think most of your fellow students have tried it before.  Bring enough for about 10 people to sample it in a few bites each.  I will have plates and utensils, but please bring something to serve with (e.g. a large spoon) if needed.
