Summer
Vocabulary and Essay Prompt
DUE: Friday, August
18, 2006
There
are many reasons for the Summer assignments
- We have 18 chapters to
complete and understand before Spring Break of 2007. This
means a chapter and exam every 1 1/2 to 2
weeks.
- The summer start gives us
a little breathing room plus allows us to have a
running start when we return to school in
August.
- I have a chance to see how
you write. As psychology teachers, we must teach our
students to write from the scientific perspective. This
is usually different than you learned for your English
classes.
- You can begin your
vocabulary collection. This is an essential part of your
success in preparing for the AP Exam
Your
Summer Assignment:
- Textbook; Myers, David G.
Psychology [7th edition]:
Read the Introduction and Chapter 1
- Complete the attached
vocabulary list for the Introduction [5
pts] and Chapter 1 [15
pts]
- For each of the key terms
and vocabulary, create individual flash
cards.
- The Flash Cards MUST BE
ON 3 X 5 INDEX CARDS.
- On the front side, list
the Word or Term, the chapter it is from and the
definition or description of the term
- On the back side of the
card, provide a specific example of application of the
term, and the page it can be found in the
textbook.
Complete
the related Study Guide assignments for the Chapter 1
[20 pts]
- You may answer the Big
Issues and Chapter Review study guide sections directly
on the study guide handout sheets or on separate pieces
of paper; the rule of thumb is that it is clear and
legible FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO REVIEW &
ASSESS.
- Complete ALL the
multiple-choice questions, the matching items questions
and True-False questions ON the study guide
pages.
Complete
the essay assignment at the end of the Chapter 1 Study Guide
[25 pts].
- The essay will be TYPED
- Do not exceed TWO
pages
Some
hints on how I will be assessing the:
- Get straight to the point
- write concisely
- Address all parts of the
question asked, but do not take a shot gun approach,
hoping to get the correct response in there,
somewhere.
- Include psychological
terminology and related researchers
- This essay is not a
creative paper; it is an analysis and
evaluation.
Other
expectations:
- Each student will keep a
copy of all papers in their student directory, on the
CASA server;
therefore, I will expect this paper to be moved onto the
server when school begins.
- Papers are due at the
beginning of the class day they are due. Late papers will
not be accepted for points toward the
studentÄôs grade, although they will be
accepted for teacher review and comment.
- Classroom discussion and
activities are designed to both extend assigned reading
material, as well as to give it more context. Class time
will not just be a recap or summary of assigned readings.
There is no substitute for actually reading the
textbook.
- There will be periodic
reading assignments in addition to the
textbook.
- Assignments may be viewed
online at www.sonic.net/bantam1/homework.html
- Please be willing to
contact the instructor whenever you need clarification of
an assignment or a concept. You may contact your
instructor outside normal school hours at
(707) 529-9038 or email at bsovel@pcsedmail.org
