Wow, y'all! I was very impressed by the proposals that came. Whittling all of these down to eleven was tough.
Take the time to read through all of the choices below. Choose a project, and remember that it is due next Wednesday.
Remember to put your student ID number on your project, not your name!
Here they are: #1, #2, #3, #4 (page 1 of assignment, page 2,) #5, #6 (page 1, page 2,) #7 (page 1, page 2), #8, #9, #10, #11.

AP Psych: Motivation and Emotion Project
This project has two components: first a proposal and then the completed assignment.
Step One: Create a proposal
By this point in your academic career, you should have a solid understanding of what kinds of projects you enjoy working on. Are you more creative or literal? Do you prefer group work or a solo project? What sort of project appeals to your multiple intelligences and makes the most of them?
With these questions in mind, your task for next class (in addition to starting Chapter 13: pages 499-509 with notes) is to propose an assignment that relates to our studies of motivation and emotion. To be clear: you are not to work on the assignment you design. Rather, I want you to write your project proposal and have it sound like an assignment that would be handed out by me or another one of your teachers. You've been getting assignments for years; now it's your turn. Use this opportunity to be topical, creative and unique, as these qualities will be to your benefit.
Step Two: Select and complete a student-designed project
Next Monday and Tuesday, I will read through the ninety-plus proposals. I will select a small percentage of these student-created project assignments (say, up to ten total) and offer them as options for all psych students to complete. If your project is not selected, you do not have the opportunity to do your proposed project; you'll have to choose from the "Top Ten."
If yours is among the "Top Ten," then you don't have to do the assignment! Instead, you will assist me by creating a rubric for your specific project, and helping me to grade your fellow psych students. As such, it is crucial that no student names appear on the final projects. Instead, student ID numbers will be replacing names.
Step One is due Monday (Tuesday for G7). "Top Ten" winners will be notified Wednesday and their projects will appear on this blog Wednesday at 6 PM. Projects will be due the following Wednesday, the day after your next unit test. Keep this calendar in mind as you design your proposals. Good luck!

AP Psych: Homework due Monday 1/11
Write a one-page analysis of your sleep and dream log. Compare the "control condition" (over vacation) to the first week back in school. Make note of any trends you see. If appropriate and contextual, provide an interpretation of any dreams you had. Use -- and bold-face -- at least FIVE terms from chapter 7 in your analysis. Also, bring your log to class to hand in.
Sweet dreams!
Sweet dreams!
