Unit 2 Plans!

Hello all,
I realize Pinnacle is down, so here's an overview of what to expect in terms of assignments for Unit 2.

READING
You are required to read all of Unit 2. Hopefully the flashcards and chart will serve as reading tools for you. I will assign a few pages per night to help you schedule and budget your time. Use your e-book- you can read on your phone! beep.browardschools.com

FLASHCARDS
You will make a card for each vocab term in the unit.
On the front (blank side) of the card, write the term and your initials.
On the back (lined side), write
1. the book definition
2. an example from the reading or other important book info
3. an example from your life or another book example
4. class notes or more examples
YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 4 ITEMS ON THE BACK OF EACH CARD BY TEST DAY TO EARN YOUR CREDIT.

RESEARCH METHODS CHART
For each research method, you will write pros, cons, examples, and relevant vocab.
This will be assigned in class.

ONLINE QUIZZES
Do quiz 1 and quiz 2 under UNIT 2 resources for practice. These must be done by midnight before test day.  www.worthpublishers.com/myersap1e

CLASSWORK
There will be a few in-class practice activities that you must be present to participate in.

TEST
The anticipated date for the Unit 2 test is Friday, Sept. 6.

Unit 1 Flashcards Home Learning Assignment

ONLY HAND-WRITTEN FLASHCARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Materials needed:
 3"x5" index cards (We use these all year, so feel free to buy them in bulk if you can find them on sale. If you cannot purchase cards, you must email me for an alternative ASAP to have the assignment done before the due date.) Over the course of the year, you will need at least 10 packs of 100 cards.
 Blue or Black Pen ONLY
 Internet access OR Y\your Psychology textbook, Unit 1

Instructions for finding the vocab online:
A. Go to www.worthpublishers.com/myersAP1e
Scroll down to the list titled “Student Resources” and click on “Flashcards.”You will create a flashcard for each of the terms from Unit 1.


1. On the FRONT (blank side) of each index card, copy the term or name from each digital flashcard, and write your first name and last initial under the term.
There should be only one term per card. (You are making flashcards to study from!)

2. On the BACK (lined side) of each card, do the following:
 a. copy the definition.
 b. write a brief example or link that you believe will help you remember this definition.
Note: The definition and example should only take up the top half of the card,
so that you leave room for class notes.
