Homework Due for Wedneday : SQ3R 157-165

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.

Circle: what is your comfort food?

Students have the option of working on two different activities. 

(Option 1)  I have included a practice test.  Each student should be working on this individually.  When they are done with the test tell  them to pair up with someone else who is finished and compare answers.  After they have compared answers, give them the answer sheet and tell them to go through and identify areas that they need to study more.  

(Option 2) The other option is to work on creating the note cards that are due on Thursday, the day of the exam. The list is included on the class blog.  (Vocabulary Words Here) Remind them that these need to be completed for class on Thursday to have the minimum of an 80 option.   Please remind them that they should include both the definition and if possible a self-reference. 

Scenario:
The local pool is noticing a strange pattern—every time people eat more ice cream, there seems to be more belly flops happening in the pool! Your task is to figure out if there’s a relationship between the two.

Data Set:

Ice Cream Scoops Eaten	Number of Belly Flops
1	2
2	4
3	5
4	8
5	9
6	12
7	15
8	17
9	19
10	22

---

Instructions for the Students:

1. Plot this data on a scatterplot with:
   • X-axis = Ice Cream Scoops Eaten
   • Y-axis = Number of Belly Flops
2. Label your axes and make sure your points are clearly plotted.
3. After plotting, look at the pattern—does it look like there’s a positive correlation? What might this suggest about eating ice cream and belly flops?

Review... At your table-Fundamental Attribution Error

At your table: A bizarre behavior you have witnessed at this school.  What was the behavior and why do you think the person did it?

Previous Activity: Using  the behavior we talked about in circle and your limited understanding of psychology, try and determine why said person engaged in behavior.  Be ready to report out.

Perspective Activity: At your table come up with a working definition of perspective. 

Old People- How much different do you think you'll be when you are 70 years old?  When you talk to old people, do you feel like they are happy or sad?  What is one of your biggest concerns about growing old and gray?  What do you think you'll look like when you are old.  Imagine what you think you'll look like.

What do you see?

What did I just do to influence what you saw?  Turn and talk

Activity: How to read informational texts.  Module 0.1 in class.  Module 0.2 for homework.  I will be checking this tomorrow for a formative grade.

Research SQ3R: Be prepared to present out your findings.  What is it?  How does it work? Why is it so effective?  

Another Perspective: Evolutionary Psych
