Technical Difficulties Last Week

Hello all, sorry for only the one post last week, but the CCPS tech department decided to block my blog at work so I couldn't make any posts while at school. It seems to be working fine again so keep our fingers crossed so that it stays this way throughout the year.

Last week, both AP and Honors learned about the scientific method and how it applies to psychology. They will be given chances all throughout the semester to put this new knowledge in practice. Students also were given time to research and discuss some of the ethical concerns that arise from the use of animals in testing environments. AP had some good online discussions about this topic, and Honors is currently writing a research paper on animal testing (here are the assignment and rubric docs) that will be due Thursday of this week (Sep 13th).

Upcoming Assignments:
AP will be having its first set of quizzes on vocabulary and chapter 1 this week. These students will need to begin reading chapter 2 and working on the vocabulary for that chapter. The due date will be up here shortly.

Honors has the animal ethics paper due Thursday and a new list of vocabulary words that will be due by Friday.

I'll make sure to get a few posts in this week to make sure everyone is up to date on what is going on in class.
Mr. Freundel
