TRANSCRIPT
DIRECTIONS AP PSYCHOLGY SUMMER ASSIGNMENT:
PLEASE NOTE:
*Order your books in June – including the Strive for 5. You can probably get a used text if you shop around. The Strive for 5 cannot have writing in it – you will be putting the writing into it! If you wait and they are back-ordered and you cannot complete your summer work, you will not be given an extension.
TEXT and WORKBOOK
1.) The second edition of Myers Psychology for AP (BFW/Worth Publishers) 2.) A NEW Herzig, Brant and Naughton’s Strive for a 5: Preparing for the AP Psychology Examination workbook (BFW/Worth Publishers)
Pictures of text are attached. DO NOT get the Myers’ FIRST EDITION of the text. The information is dated and you will not be able to answer many sections of your workbook. NOT ORDERING THE TEXT OR WORKBOOK IN JUNE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT HAVING THE ASSIGNMENT READY WHEN SCHOOL BEGINS. YOU MUST HAVE A NEW WORKBOOK, NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WRTTEN IN!
If you have questions, please e-mail me at [email protected] any time prior to August 18. I will not respond to e-mails about the summer assignment after 5 PM on August 18 nor answer questions that are clearly covered the instructions. I am very happy to clarify or give details when needed. DO NOT WAIT until the last days.
Students must:
1.) Read Unit 1 PSYCHOLOGY’S HISTORY AND APPROACHES (pages 1 -28) and Unit 5 STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS (pages 217 – 261) in the text.
2.) Complete all sections in the Strive for Five Workbook for both units in the workbook. *Unit 1 (pages 1 – 16) and Unit 5 pages 115 – 142)
3.) For both units in the Strive for Five Workbook, you may SKIP the Before You Read (Key Terms and Key Names) at the beginning of each chapter in the workbook and the Before You Move On section at the end of each unit. The chart on page 10 may also be omitted.
4.) Pen please!
5.) Responses do not have to be in complete sentences; bulleted responses are appropriate in many instances. Please note that one/two/three word answers are not adequate responses. Be thoughtful and be complete!
5.) Workbooks will be collected on the FULL FIRST DAY that class meets. Late work (the second day of class) will receive 50% credit and no credit will be given after that point.
6.) All students who have not completed the assignment will be asked to reconsider his/her commitment to AP Psychology. It is mandatory that students complete the work.
7.) Testing on both chapters will be within the first two weeks of school and students will be able to use the workbook for part of the testing! There will be two quizzes (one on each chapter.)
8.) The summer assignment equals one TEST GRADE.
