Activities

Learning Target:  I can explain why it's important to build community in the classroom.

Learning Target: 1. I can effectively read a textbook.  2. I can understand the major psychological perspectives and what they can tell us about ourselves and others.

Textbook: Handout and talk about Ms. Danis and SQ3R

Activity: Part 1: At you table you will be discussing how you read and learn from informational texts(your textbook).  Please be honest.  Next go around and rate how effective you think your strategy is on a 1-4 likert scale.  1-I'm a disaster 2-I struggle but survive 3-I feel like I have a good system 4-I have researched the most effective way learn from a text and execute it perfectly. 

Part 2: Please share with you group how you decide what to write down in your notes.  Do you have a system.  Next discuss how effective you feel the notes are when it comes time to study for a test.  Finally, share, if you have notes with the class and explain your process.

SQ3R Research: What is it?  How does it work?  Why is it so effective?  Is it researched based, i.e. do experts agree it is a very effective system to take notes?  Finally as a group put together a short presentation to explain how it works.

The DEAL: If you SQ3R all of the assignments, the absolute worst grade you can get on the first assessment is an 80.  Even if you get every question wrong!

HOMEWORK

In class you will SQ3R'ing pages 1-11.  You are trying to do this as efficiently as possible!  More is less!  What you don't finish in class is homework due Monday.

Homework due Monday is pages 13-22.  Don't forget to test yourself at the end of unit AND quiz each other over the notes!

Perspective Activity: At your table come up with a working definition of perspective. What do you see?
