Today in class, we began discussing the Learning Chapter - Module 26.

Students were provided with a handout (see attachment titled "Introduction to Learning") that discussed the 3 types of learning (classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning). The class briefly discussed and annotated the handout for operant and observational learning. Next, we discussed classical conditioning in depth. We went over key definitions of UCS, UCR, CS, and CR.

7th period - watched the Scream Clip - need to discuss how it relates to Classical Conditioning.

9th period - still needs to watch the Scream Clip

- Ms. Pretet went over the Advanced Placement (AP) options that students can enroll in next year. Students are required to take some form of US History next year (either AP US History, American Studies, or US History). Please see the information below:
