Second Home Learning Assignment... Unit 1 Flashcards!!!

Hey everyone, I know this is the moment you've all been waiting for... instructions for your flashcards! Tonight you will begin your cards for Unit 1 and Appendix A. Completed flashcards will be graded on Tuesday. Be sure to bring cards to class daily for whichever unit we're working on. Start with the first ten pages of terms.

Please do everything for this class in PEN and use 4"x6" index cards. Email me if you cannot obtain materials for financial reasons.

Front (blank side) of card:
- Vocabulary term goes in the center
- An important keyword or mnemonic goes underneath
- Draw a simple sketch related to the term
- Write your full name on the first card, and only your initials on every other card.

Back (lined side) of card:
1. Define the term. You may put the book's definition in your own words.
2. List names of any relevant psychologists
3. A fact from the reading
4. An real life example from the reading
5. A personal link (an example or link from your real life)
6. Notes from class

You should do everything at home except for #6 on the back. Come to class prepared to ask questions and discuss what you read and wrote! I can't wait to hear all of your examples :)

Reminders:
First Period, bring all of your first day forms!
All periods, remember to bring your Psychology's Timeline worksheet and do the online quiz tonight (see details in the previous post).
