Perception, Regulation, Defense and Reproduction
Name ________________________________ Period ________ Date _______________
Each student will complete the following assignments working either individually or as a part of a team.
As each assignment is completed, a check should be placed in the blank and the assignment should be
given to the teacher for grading,. When a paper has been
scored, the student should record the points earned on the Point Sheet. Most assignments
may be corrected in a different color of pen or pencil to gain more points. Write the word
“corrected” in the upper right hand corner using a contrasting pen. Correction points will
be given when the binder is scored - do NOT turn papers back until the binders are
requested. Papers for all units of work are to be kept in a binder in an organized manner.
Reading Responses: Students are to complete 3 reading responses per quarter. You may choose to
respond to assigned chapters or approved articles. Each reading response will consist of Cornell Notes in
which you identify at least 5 main ideas and describe them in your own words. Reading responses should
meet the following criteria: at least 1 page in length, typed, single-spaced, 12 font, 1” margins, Times
New Roman, no more than ¼ of width of page set aside for Cornell Note questions, at least 5 questions
related to the main ideas and a 2-3 sentence summary at the end describing how the reading is related to
