unit 3 reading assignments

p. 51-58 for Monday 9/28
59-68 for Tuesday 9/29 (always read to the end of the page indicated, or to the beginning of the next section heading on an indicated page - in this case, read all of p. 68)
69-78 for Wednesday 9/30 (stop at the first new section heading, i.e. "Association Areas")
78-91 for Friday 10/2 (do yourself a big favor and split this over two nights)
94-103 for Monday 10/5
103-110 for Tuesday 10/6
"The New Science of the Teenage Brain" ("Beautiful Brains") article questions for Wednesday 10/7
unit 3 test is at the end of next week (Friday 10/9)

Remember that any day reading is due brings the possibility of a reading quiz.  You may always use your own original notes to assist you on any reading quiz.

Also, I did not get naturalistic observation write-ups from everyone.  The assignment description clearly said that each individual (even when working in a pair) was responsible for his/her own write-up.  If you did not give me one, please do so A.S.A.P.

As indicated on the syllabus, your final unit test on units 1 and 2 will be Friday 9/25.

AP review and due dates (4/27-5/1)

AP review resources for you to check out are here.

Due Tuesday 4/28:  analysis of a piece of fiction using psych terms.

Due Thursday 4/29:  favorite bold term show and tell.

Also, a reminder that you should be reviewing throughout the week (as I'm sure you know) and that you will have two free response quizzes at some point during that week.  The quizzes will feature terms from several different units.

for next week

To begin reviewing for the AP exam, please do the following for Monday (worth 10 points for 4th quarter):

Create an original free response question that incorporates terms from five or more different units. Also include a scoring key (like the actual AP free response question you looked at on schizophrenia, which gave examples of what types of responses score and what types did not) or model answer of how the terms could be used.  Please type and have ready to redistribute in class on Monday (D block) or Tuesday (B block).  You will be exchanging, answering and scoring these prompts in class.
