Sleep Brochure Mini Project

Create a hospital brochure that discusses the importance of sleep. Specifically, your handout needs to highlight the benefits of sleep and some of the theoretical possibilities of dreaming.  Make it creative and interesting for the readers.  Include relevant images as well.  Images may be printed at home and brought in the next class period to add to the brochure.  The brochure must be completed by the end of the next class period on, Wednesday/Thursday.  You will have some class time that day, but the majority of the work must be completed ahead of time.

·         This is to be done in pair (2 people), not groups.

·         You will be graded on Content (40), Creativity (25), Neatness (15), and Presentation (20)

·         Information can be found on the internet, but must not be copied and pasted.  In your own words!  Points will be deducted if you don’t know what you are talking about.

o   Read the packet on Education you received the previous class.  Answer the “Test Yourself” Questions on page 163 & 164 and answer all the questions & activities found on page 169 on your own sheet of paper.  You will need to keep the packets for reference, so the assignment should not be completed on there because I don’t want you turning in the whole packet to me.  There are a few extra Education packets on my desk for those students that were not here to receive one on Thursday of last week. Please do not ask the sub for another one if you forgot it.  I don't have extras and you will need to share. You may keep the packet and you may write notes on it if you wish. You should complete any remaining questions for homework and the assignments should be completed by Thursday, 10/30/14 when I come back.  I will be collecting it then, no excuses.

AICE Psychology

o   Use the class set of the Core Study 3.4 to complete your Case Study Guide Sheet (found on the blog) and also using the Original Held & Hein case found on the blog (links under this post).  You may do this on the form if you printed one out ahead of time, or on your own sheet of paper. You should also answer the questions on the back of the Core Study 3.4 packet on a separate sheet of paper.  You may continue to work on this for homework if necessary, but the packets from class may not be taken as they are a class set and I need it for the other students.  Take a picture of it if necessary.  All work should be completed by Wednesday, 10/29/14 when I come back.
