Circle: Is there anything we could do differently as a school and/or community to make school a better place for everyone? Meaning to help everyone reach their full potential.

By the End of the Period: You will know the names of people in this class and be more comfortable being here.
Homework Check: Why are you taking AP?
Activity: Why do think people are taking AP? At your table brainstorm a list of reasons you believe people take AP Psychology or even AP classes in general? Because they want the challenge? The deeper question would be why do some students want the challenge while so many others don't? Could it be related to parents, financial situation, peers, sports, genetics, birth order, brain size etc...
At your table:
1. You will write down on separate cards the reasons you believe you are taking AP.
2. Next, without using names, look around the room, why do you think others people in the class are taking AP?
3. Sort cards according to categories.
4. Whip around. New insights to why you are here?
5. 5 minutes to write: What has changed about how you see your motivation and others in the class.
6. Share out.
Activity:Putting Grit in its place
Transcript Activity: How do you explain the difference? Why are these two so different? In a group of three/four use your best investigative skill to figure out why these two kids are so different. What are all the factors that could account for the very different transcripts. Be ready to report out your findings.
