Summer Assignment 3: Vocabulary Flash Cards
This year you will be learning the language of psychology. As with learning any language, one must learn the meaning of words, then learn how to use them correctly, but the key to true learning is PRACTICE. Get started on learning some vocab that you'll need in the first week of school. I will check this assignment on the second day of class. I ONLY ACCEPT HAND-WRITTEN FLASHCARDS.
Materials:
1. You will need a package of 3"x5" index cards (We use these all year, so feel free to buy them in bulk if you can find them on sale. Also, if you cannot purchase cards, you may cut paper into 3x5 pieces to make flash cards.)
2. Blue or Black Pen
3. Internet access
Instructions:
1. On the front (blank side) of each card, copy the terms and names listed below. There should be only one term per card. (You are making flashcards to study from!)
2. Right click here. and open this link in a new tab. Click on "Psychology Timeline" in blue in the center of the page. A simulation will open for you to read through that includes the first 29 of the terms in the word list. Read carefully!
Terms 30 to 40 can be found on APA's website here.
2. On the back (lined side) of each card, you use the above links to:
a. DEFINE/IDENTIFY the term or person.
b. EXPLAIN the term in your own words or write any IMPORTANT DETAILS about the term/person. Don't worry about complete sentences. (Leave room to add class notes)
c. (optional) Write related EXAMPLES or LINKS to real life, TV, or movies that you can think of.
