Section outline
-
Our Personality exploration continues this week in a major way. For starters, the reading quiz for Module 19 will be Monday. Yes, your notes are due at that time. (Remember, if you do not print out the outline - found below - the rule of thumb for notetaking is ONE PAGE OF NOTES FOR EVERY TWO PAGES OF TEXT. So, you'd need at least 9 pages for full credit.)
This unit also has a quick project attached to it. Instructions (found below). have already been given for a Personality Mask. This will be due Thursday, Oct. 6.
Another due date for this week to remember is The Truman Show essay prompt, Wednesday, Sept. 28. If you've forgotten the instructions, you are to write a 11/2 to 2-page response to the prompt: Citing examples from the film, explain how The Truman Show violated all four tenets of the APA's research guidelines. Those are also found below.
On Wednesday, a full A-F day, I'll be introducing you to Forty Studies That Changed Psychology. This is a book we will be going back to over and over throughout the year. Below is the instruction sheet for using the book (I will also hand out a copy to each of you). Work will always be done of a 4 X 6 index card. Since I only have 30 copies of the book in the class, the link to the online version is also below. The study for Wednesday will be "Are You The Mast of Your Fate?" on p. 192.
Also below is the Unit 2 - Personality listing of Names and Terms to Know. There are a lot, but many will be covered in your reading notes. Still, I'm going to request you up the minimum number of required cards from 25 to 35. Of course, you can always do as many as you like. The cards will always be there. They will be due for check by Thursday, Oct. 6.
Some good news for you... I've decided to remove Module 21, "Health, Stress &Coping," and make it part of the Motivation & Emotions unit. So, the only other module you'll need to read and take notes on for this unit will be 20, "Social Learning & Traits." This will be due Monday, Oct. 3. The outline for that is forthcoming.
Finally -- You have until next Friday, Sept. 30 to take and submit the test reviews on Schools of Psychology and Research Methods. Remember, in order to get credit, you must have scores of 85% or above. Once that mark is hit, copy and paste the test into a word document and send them to me as an attachment to dperry@avhsd.org. We'll continue to do it this way until I can figure Schmoop out.
