Conflict & PEACE!

There are 5 main elements to a good story. Just because you have been such a wonderful class this semester, I’m going to share one of my very favourite lessons. If you’re lucky, you may even remember this one for years to come (like the grade 11 students sitting in my room at lunch who reminded me to show you this)

Watch this! (actually, watch it a few times to make sure that it has time to permanently embed into your brain!)

Today we’ll focus on one of those elements: CONFLICT

You will have to write about a conflict in your chosen novel. To do it, however, I want you to try to use PEACE!

Put those together and you’ve got yourself a recipe for success on your next assignment!

Final Exam Review!

Your exam is tentatively scheduled for June 19 at 1pm. That could change, so make sure you check the official schedule closer to the exam.

It’s time to start thinking about your exam! I know that the general tendency is to cram the night before and hope that something sticks, but you WILL do better if you look at smaller bits of information over a longer period of time (eg. study one unit/concept over the course of a couple of days, then focus on another, etc.) You WILL also do better if you DO SOMETHING other than read the information and watch the videos. Make notes! Come up with quiz questions for yourself. TALK to a classmate (or teacher!) Make yourself a set of flash cards, whatever, just DO SOMETHING! Reading it helps, but engaging with the content helps A LOT MORE.

Below is a list of the topics that we’ve covered in class. It is just a list of highlights, there is more, but these are the things that you should really know. I’ve put hyperlinks to the best posts to look at for more information on the topics, but there are others that you may wish to seek out on your own.

Remember to look at assignments. They’re designed to get you to interact with important concepts/material: http://www.misterjrobson.com/psychology-2018/

You should also scroll back through the daily posts for the course: http://www.misterjrobson.com/category/psych-2018/

You will notice in the document below that there is some material that we haven’t covered yet (but will next week.)

Download the document and use it however you like. Highlight things, add in notes, make note of things that you want to review before the exam. Over the course of the next two weeks, you will have the option to review whatever concepts you wish, so be ready to let me know what to go over again. ASK QUESTIONS if there’s anything that you don’t remember/didn’t do/don’t understand!
