Unit 1 and Appendix A Home Learning Activities

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.  Be sure to bring cards (including extra blank ones) 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

Here is the reading and card schedule for the unit. As you read, complete flashcards for the vocab terms you come across, using the textbook info to fill in each card.
