12 April - 18 April

Last week, you examined how we use our minds to store and retrieve information. This, we begin an exploration of how we use our minds to think both intelligently and creatively. There are no lecture notes this time around, however, you will be needing your textbooks to complete one of the assignments. And, yes, there's more Hank Green in store. Here's what's on the agenda:

1) Journal -- Intelligence and Creativity. On Moodle, it can be found below as part of the Intelligence and Creativity packet. One Google, it's a separate assignment document. Remember to just choose one of the prompts.

2) Crash Course --  "How Your Mind Can Amaze and Betray You." This is the first of two CC episodes you'll be watching this week. On Moodle, links to both the video and worksheet can be found below. On Google, the link to the video is embedded in the title of the worksheet.

3) Independent Practice Worksheet (Chapter 9). Three pages of the charts and questions dealing with the concept of intelligence and how it is measured. On Moodle, it is the second part of the Intelligence and Creativity packet found below. On Google, it is a separate assignment document you may type on. Use Chapter 9 of your textbook to complete.

4) Crash Course -- "Controversy of Intelligence." The second of the two CC episodes you'll be watching this week. On Moodle, links to both the video and worksheet can be found below. On Google, the link to the video is embedded in the title of the worksheet.

Note: For anyone who is interested, there are two extra credit activities that can be done this week. However, in order to complete them, you're going to have to go old school. By that I mean, you'll have to print them out (or copy them by hand), as they can only be found on Moodle. Once complete, take a picture of your work and email it to me. Both activities -- Intelligence Vocabulary and Thought and Language Puzzle -- can be found below.
