Unit 5 Assignments: States of Consciousness
TEST DATE: Tuesday, October 20
Red Ribbon Week is October 23-31.
Read the chapter and take notes for yourself as you read. Note that this chapter is Modules 22-25 and correlates with Ch. 3 in 9e.. This is a SHORT
chapter, so be sure to read ahead. Unless otherwise noted, complete the FRQ that does not have the answer points given. Reading quizzes shall be
given randomly. I advise that you read the module and take notes. Then complete flashcards for that module. Then answer the questions at the
end to quiz yourself and answer the FRQ. Use the PsychSim to aid your understanding.


Research Project: Each person will complete a research project on a topic of your choice from the chapter. You are not
limited to the concepts in the chapter, provided that it is related to sleep, consciousness, or psychoactive drugs;
additionally, you must tie in information from at least 3 concepts from previous chapters. Your project will include a brief
summary of your findings in a digital presentation format (PowerPoint, GoogleDocs, etc.) and an informational, public
service announcement-style poster no smaller than 11x17 in. You are promoting awareness of topics such as sleep
disorders or deprivation (to name a few) OR advocating against drug use by providing vital information. Remember that
your presentation and poster should be obviously geared toward teenagers, but each should look professional and
collegiate-level in quality. Note that this unit comes a few weeks before Red Ribbon Week, so this is a perfect time to
promote a drug-free existence and give information that will help your peers. Posters will be displayed in the hall. *If you
prefer to NOT do a poster, you can replace this with a research essay of five paragraphs in APA style (you can use the
template on my AP Psych main page). See Research Handout.
