Dear future students

For any incoming psych students, I definitely recommend truly understanding the vocab for every lesson. I found it so helpful when I really tried to understand what each word meant instead of just doing the vocab for the sake of getting a curved grade. It helps on the quiz and I'm sure it'll also help on the AP.

My favorite activity was when we made the structure of a brain using candies. Building the brain was not only helpful but also exciting because we got to eat the candy afterwards. It was definitely a fun way to get to know your classmates and start off a hard lesson strong.

I think leaving out the textbook work would be better for next year because I found it not as helpful as just reviewing my vocab words. However, the worksheets that did help were the diagrams and the tables that helped explain confusing vocab words. 

Next year, I think implementing in more movie days would be a good way for the students to understand the psychology concepts in a more exciting manner. I feel like it was really helpful when I got to witness what we learn in popular movies or even documentaries, like Hidden Figures and Three Identical Strangers. Therefore, I feel like adding in more of these movies would really help the students learn better.
