1) Tricky Vocabulary Review Game. We played the "Golden Chair" game and the winners were Joe Stradling and Brian Neff
2) You evaluated me.
2) Chapters 9 and 10 Test Review. We went over the correct answers on the Memory and Cognition test. There were obvious problems with the questions related to: iconic memory, proactive/retroactive interference, availability/representativeness heuristics.
1) Neuron Note. You read answers from the Neuron Note. You do not need to write a new question on test days.
2) Since we only had 70 minutes for class, we immediately started the 100 multiple choice test on chapters 9 and 10. If you were absent, you can take the test in the IMC tomorrow with Mrs. Foster. She takes lunch from 11-12. If that does not work, plan to take the test on Thursday.
3) Since the final exam is next week, you received a list of 185 questions of the tricky vocabulary from chapters 1-10. Your job is to try to answer the questions on you own without notes as a review of what you remember. Then, use your notes and textbook to finish the rest of the questions for next class. We will be playing a review game with these vocabulary words.
