Week Five Assignments

Complete this by our next meeting. I'm reminding you again that you do NOT need to memorize the material. Just continue to absorb what you can. Continue digging deeper by answering the questions.

*Parents - it's time to schedule the CLEP exam for four to five weeks from now. Use the link about the "test" on the toolbar.

1) Read Chapter 6 of "REA's CLEP Intro to Educational Psychology." Again, continue taking notes as you read, using an outline method, as this will help you to remember. You guys are doing an excellent job!

2) Continue making vocabulary flashcards from any words in bold print from the above reading assignment. IMPORTANT - continue quizzing yourself on the cards you have made so far.

3) Read Chapters 8 & 9 of Slavin's "Educational Psychology" completing the study questions at the end of the chapter, researching any wrong answers. We will review these at the next class. Take notes on things that are new or difficult for you in the reading.

4) View one of the available FREE online videos using the links below. If possible, try to choose a video that most closely matches the content in your current reading assignments.
