Summative: Due Monday- Draw a neuron.  You will draw a neuron in your notes.  Each part should be labeled along with what it does.  Additionally, you will explain how it works based on a "thought" and what would happen if it activates a firing and again if it doesn't.  I will explain this in class.  This will be entered for a SUMMATIVE.

Homework: SQ3R Pages 91-96 due for Monday.   You will also want to start making note cards for the next unit test.  Vocabulary words appear on the side of the text in light pink.  You should make note cards for each one and on the back where you write the definition you should also self-reference in you definition, meaning how it applies to you.  You should be doing this for all the assignments.
