There are three vacations (Dec, Feb and April) and one required project. You need to do one, even if you have an A+ Please use this vocab list
The learning goal here is to review vocabulary. For winter break, you have fewer terms (the first five or so units) to cover than for April, when you will apply every single term. You can find the terms here or on your unit pages.
These projects are all choices, but for those of you with a 79 or lower average, you are required to complete one project. For those with an 80 or higher, you choose when to do it, an opportunity to get more points into the mix.
Projects for Feb vacay are due 2/28 9am at the latest. winter break are due 1/10/25. There are no extensions, this is a choice project for most of you. For those with an 80 or higher, you have 2 other breaks to do the work if December isn't going to work.
You may pick the book option twice, but you may not choose the notecards, graphic organizer, etc twice as that would be turning in the same thing twice The point values differ by choice. You must complete at least two projects, but you can do them over any of the breaks, and of course they are assigned before break and due well after.
Thanks and have great breaks!
Option 1: 50 points for Dec. In AP classroom, please complete all of the multiple choice questions for each of the 5 units we have already studied. Yes, less work to do this in December.... all of the units are open to you. I can see your scores and all of that. Just the MC questions in Dec as we haven't gone over the two types of essays on the AP test yet, and some of you aren't taking the AP test.
Option 2: Graphic organizer for all the terms so far this year: worth 50 points
Option 3: Notecards, all the vocab so far this year: worth 70 points
Option 4: Documentaries worth 50 points. Bare minimum of 3 docs, apply dozens of vocabulary words you need to work on applied to each one. Please heavily focus on research vocab, you don't have to apply ALL the vocab so far, but go through each unit done thus far
Option 6: 40 Studies summarized (book free pdf) 70pts Your choice, pick 20 studies and apply 6 different vocab from all the units done thus far to each or 40 studies and 3 vocab each. link to full vocab. Applications need to demonstrate understanding of the study and the vocabulary. Choose challenging vocab please. The book if you prefer is also in our library.
Option 7: Not for December. FRQ Practice. 50pts You will pick 5 articles to respond to in an FRQ format. You will Space, Order, DEFINE, and APPLY while using SYNONYMS. You will pick vocabulary that you need to work on, you will define and apply all vocabulary correctly, articles here.
Option 8: Listening to a bunch of psych related podcasts and apply vocabulary: hidden brain (pick relevant ones!) I love this pod and listen a lot, psych files, this one is good, but not quite as awesome, psych essentials fine overviews. 50pts for 50 vocab terms you need practice with that we have learned so far.
Option 9: Creat a Podcast relevant to and based on your readings of psych research. Submit it to the NYTimes podcast contest. 50pts If the short time length isn't working for you, just do a podcast that you turn in to me. I just thought you might like the competition aspect of this and potential to shine for colleges and such.
Option 10: Not for April as the deadline will be over. Essay contest with prizes from the APA. How do you see psychological themes, terms in the spread of misinformation? link for information
Option 11: Book project worth 70 points Here are some previous examples. Lots of great books available online via the library. Apply vocab that we have explored so far to whatever you read.
Option 12: Altruism. Do something for others. Find a way to help other people. In your write up of what you did, how you felt, the difference you made, please include 30 vocab terms that don't include social and abnormal. Ideas: post in the town fb group to help seniors with tech issues/explain google classroom to parents/. Bring food and help distribute at the food pantry. Volunteer your time helping elderly neighbors or single parents to get their groceries (online even!). Try to think beyond doing your jobs or caring for your siblings, but these are crazy times and those can also be super helpful. Please remember to underline your applied relevant vocabulary to your write up.
Option 13: Please feel free to suggest 50+ point worthy ideas for your project. The goal is for you to explore a lot of vocab that we have covered, determine what you need to review and apply it. You may not design your own without approval from me and please don't wait till the last weekend of vacay to ask/suggest something.
