Spring Break for Dreier

Good Evening,

Thanks for checking in. As a reminder for your spring break assignment for Mr. Dreier's class you will have Hock readings #14 and #16, three blog posts (with at least one on a Hock reading), You need to watch the video posted in this blog (and maybe reflect on it as a second blog...if you were looking to make it easier), and develop a prototype lesson for your own personal learning style.

Whew. Now that that's over, we can concentrate on the fun stuff. I can't wait for spring break so I can hang out in good old WI and look at snow through my windows. I will probably have to take some time to play my guitar, I might go hang out and have coffee somewhere, I will more than likely watch a little basketball on the television, and I will clean my basement, install a fake beach with a sunlamp, paint a mural of the ocean on my wall, and pretend I am in a faraway tropical land.

If you believe all of that, then I have a bridge to sell you in New York.

Have a great break!

Representing China

So, I'm off representing China today in a simulation, along with a few students from AHS. Business first - you can work on your assignments that are due Wednesday with ONE other person at most. This assignment is something one could complete by oneself, but I always like what happens when two people work together to create something quite interesting and unique. Two heads are better than one right? (unless of course you're a whitetail deer of the male variety, upon which you'd be quite the prize to some lucky hunter).

Secondly, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, some of you are not blogging every week. This is a very unwise move. Let me help you out with this - your blog doesn't have to be impersonal. You can certainly have fun with these. Write to entertain yourself, write to learn, write to entertain ME at the very least. Write about a funny thought you've had while thinking about psychology, write about something personal that completely relates to what we've learned. Some of you have gotten quite good at this, while others are still struggling to blog on a weekly basis and have probably come to dread blogging because you have to "go look for a video or article that relates to psychology". Nothing could be further from the truth of this assignment - psychology is everywhere, you just have to take a little time to write about it.

Happy blogging!
