AP Psych: Stress & Health Websites

You have about half a period to explore the following web sites. Don't stress out (hee-hee) if you don't get through all of the material. The first link is a long article about the benefits of stress. Then there is a quiz about resilience. I'm interested in your reaction to wilddivine.com, so shoot me an e-mail (msandler@arlington.k12.ma.us) about what you found interesting in these sites. I'll let you know when there are about five minutes left in the computer lab so you can start on the e-mail.

AP Psych: Homework Assignments

I hope you're enjoying your vacation. Use the following information to plan accordingly

We'll be speeding through Chapter 14 (Stress and Health) and taking a test on this short unit on Monday, March 1 (U Day) for all sections.

For the Monday after break (Tuesday for G7) read pages 531-546 and take notes.

For the following class meeting, I'm assigning to 555 (to "Modifying Illness-Related Behaviors") with notes.

Then, it's to 563 ("Obesity and Weight Control") with notes.

Then you'll finish the chapter for Friday, February 26th.

Rest up so you can keep up the good work!
