Circle: What is you favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal and one thing you will not eat?

Unit Topics: Sleep and Dreams, Hypnosis, Drugs and Consciousness

Homework Due : SQ3R 168-178

Homework for Wednesday: 170-80

AP Signups!  You need to make sure you have logged into your MyAP account and registered for the exam.  AP credit will only be awarded along with multipier if you take the exam

Sleep Journal:  On average, how many hours of sleep have you been getting on a school night?

Activity: 20-8 How large is you sleep deficit?  What are strategies you can implement to improve you sleep.  Create a customized list of things that you know you need to work on or strategies you currently use that work and are backed up by science.

Activity: At you table you will come up with a brief presentation about the long term effects of not getting enough sleep.  If you have three people, your presentation will have 3 parts.  If four people, it would have 4 parts.

For Example: Lack of sleep can lead to weight gain because; 1. Increases ghrelin, a hunger-arousing hormone and decreases leptin which decreases hunger.  2. Decreases metabolic (energy use) rate.  3. Increases cortisol production,  a stress hormone that stimulates the body to make fat(energy storage). 4. Enhances limbic brain response to the mere sight of food and reduces cortical response which helps us resist temptation.

Activity: 22-1 True or False

Note cards: Below is a list of terms that you will need to know for the AP Psych exam.    Each note card should have the term on the front.  Then, on the back you need to A) define the term and B) show application of the term.  This application can sometimes best be expressed as a personal example.  You can also draw the application of the term if you so desire.
