Read the chapter and take notes for yourself as you read. Note that this chapter is Modules 31-36. Unless otherwise noted, complete the FRQ that

Mesmerizing Memory, Captivating Cognition, and Alluring Language Peer Teaching: Each student will select an aspect of either Unit 7 or
8 and research something interesting that goes beyond the information in the text. This can be research on a person or case
study; details about a research study; tips on how to use or apply the information to your life; disorders or diseases involving memory,
thinking or cognition; career exploration. Examples include hyperthymesia, Alzheimer’s Disease, Korsakoff’s Syndrome, Stephen Wiltshire,
Henry Molaison, dyslexia, super tasters, extreme cases in obesity, etc.
o Basic Instructions:

Meet with your group and choose a topic. Sign up on the sheet by the turn-in trays. No topic shall be used twice,
regardless of class period.

Create a graphic PowerPoint presentation and/or video (10 slide minimum, one reference slide in APA format with at
least three valid references; one can be the text.)

Create a handout for each member of the class (1st, 8; 2nd,9; 3rd,13). This can be notes, guided notes, a quiz, flowchart,
info graphic, etc. On this handout, you should make a note showing how your topic connects to at least three other
topics we have studied.

Present your information to the class. You will have between 7-10 minutes per group. You should do an "attentiongetter" to engage the class and a "conclusion" that is a summation of your information in short.
o Fatal Errors and other items:

If you have no reference slide, you will receive a 50 point deduction. The importance of crediting your sources
cannot be stressed enough!

Presentations MUST NOT be read only from the slides. 10 points will be deducted from your overall score.

Proofread your presentation. I will deduct 3 points per spelling and grammatical/style/usage error, not to exceed 10
for any one error.

Be sure to have “business” and “pleasure” on each slide. Remember that it should be geared toward your teenaged,
AP Psych student audience. Make it engaging and interesting.
