Getting Started on Unit 7A: Memory
Hi guys!
Hope you're having a wonderful and safe holiday weekend. Thanks for making the time for AP Psych!
Please read pages 255-260 and and make flashcards for those terms. I will do a spot check of your cards in class on Tuesday morning, so make sure that your cards are filled with good stuff from your reading!
Here's my YouTube playlist for this unit. Take some ideas from these videos for #5 on your cards!
- 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: (6 items)
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 :)
