LIFE AFTER THE AP TEST!!!
The end of the year projects will be a “TEACH” or a hands on experiment that you are doing. It does NOT have to be a video project. The stipulations are as follows:
- You must teach the class something new about a topic (15 minutes lesson): We probably covered your topic in class; however, what can you teach us about the topic that is new?? You can tell us about a case study we have not read about. Teach us more detail on that subject or field that we did not cover in class. This keeps the topic fresh and interesting. THE LEARNING continues-- even after the AP TEST!!
- If you are not doing a "teach" then you are doing some kind of "experiment" based on a topic we learned in the course. This could be filmed in a video documentary. I have shown you many examples in class so you must have an idea of what I expect. If you have an awesome video documentary on a topic that we covered in class or an experiment, I will show your video FOREVER! FOREVER...FOREVER (saying this like the guy in the movie SANDLOT) ...and you will be famous in AP PSychology! Please be mindful that your video is at all times, school appropriate (and you guide by all the behavioral guidelines in our handbook). Remember, filming on campus is only allowed with permission. Most video documentaries done on campus (and experiments) must be approved by administration. Therefore, if you are planning an expeirment or something of this nature, you need to get approval from my administrator, Mr. David Olafson. See me first for help!
- You must reserve a topic ( this way we will not have repeats on a lesson in one period)
- You must have a visual for the class (PowerPoint, video, poster boards, etc)
- You must involve the class in some kind of activity that correlates to your lesson. (quiz them, game, Q&A session…be creative) A fun example of a class activity was when a student was teaching us about the health benefits of meditation and yoga. She had the entire class bring towels on the day of her "teach" and we did a 10 minute mini- yoga class together doing some stretching and breathing techniques. That counts as a class activity!! It was fun and interesting.
- You must do your lesson on your scheduled day!! YOU Must commit to your date. Take this seriously-- YOU are taking over the class!
This project will be discussed at length in class. If you have questions or concerns about dates or topics, contact your instructor asap. If you want to switch a date with a friend, please notify Rios first. If you want to participate in a friend’s “teach” or be there when they do their project, you must clear it with your teacher to come to my class. I will issue NO PASSES to anyone. I cannot pull you out of another class to attend mine under any circumstances. However, I welcome anyone who has a pass out of class, signed by their teacher, to attend a friend’s lesson.
The following are tentative topic reservations for each Period. YOU can change your mind. If you have reserved a topic already--- your name will appear here with your topic. Double check me to make sure that I have made changes to it if you have changed your mind. I will try to update this page as often as I can to keep you posted on what topics have been taken. If a topic has been reserved during your period, you may NOT repeat that topic. You can however choose a topic that is being done in another period. You may work with only ONE other partner. Some video documentaries or experiments may require more than one person. This will be decided on a case by case basis. Please discuss this with your teacher.
The schedule WHEN you are doing your project will be posted at a later date. STAY TUNED. :-)
