Ms. Bors

Want to be called something different than your given name? Let me know as I call your name, please.

One of the tasks of consumer psychologists is to determine effective names for products.

Why are there no Ford Chickens or Honda Rodents on the road?

Your task: With your bell work partner, use one of the glossary words from your assigned chapter as a new car model. You can choose which make (e.g., Chevy, Ford, Honda) would use it, what the car might look like (e.g., truck, sports car, luxury car), and an effective slogan that takes into account the psychological term found in the glossary. Do this on a separate sheet of paper, with both of your names on it. Some examples “Honda Hypnotism—this car will mesmerize you!” “The Dodge Dissociative: A sport utility vehicle that can change to a truck” “Ford Placebo: The quality will make you think you are paying a lot, but you really aren’t.”

Pass up what you created, as well as the notecards that were on your desks, please.

Instead of paper copies of flashcards, you can opt to get the Flashcards App by Chegg (put that it when looking for it) for iOS or Android. Then, you create your own flashcards (do NOT copy someone else’s set).

Bring them with you EVERY DAY Sign on the window of the door We do NOT have any extras you can use If we are using our books in class and you do NOT have yours, you will be sent back to your locker and if you do not make it back on time, that will be a SWIPE (tardy)

Need to have one with you every day If you forget one every now and then, you can use the board to borrow one from me. Instructions written on the side of the board. You do NOT have to ask me, just pick one up, if it before class has officially started. If you are writing something down, and something happens to your pencil, then use the hand signal to let me know and I will provide you with a pencil.

MOST IMPORTANT RULE- TIME AND PLACE!

quietly read a book organize your planner or homework sit quietly listen to music quietly do a puzzle work on homework wait patiently

Once the bell has rung you must go and get SWIPED If you are wandering around the class as the bell rings- you will also be asked to go and get SWIPED Meaning: You NEED to be in your seat as the bell rings, with the notebook out, working quietly on the bell work This is NOT time to ask questions about your grade, to go to the bathroom, etc.- YOU will be asked to ask these questions at another, more appropriate time!

Late? Leave pass on my desk!

 Walking out of the room- PASS NEEDED every time AND need to sign out  Where are these?

When you are absent, it is your responsibility to CHECK OUR CLASS WEBSITE to see what you missed. Then, check the folders in the class to get any handouts from there. Or, simply print them out from the website. If you are confused about what you missed when you were absent, feel free to ask me, but only AFTER you have looked at the website, as everything you need will be up on the website. You will have until Thursday of that week to complete your missed work AND not have it count as late and see a grade for it in the grade book. Otherwise, it will become a O. Turn in to absent/missing/late work bin- write why it is getting turned in now instead of sooner ON THE sheet/HW assignment itself Ex. ABSENT when we turned it in, otherwise considered late! However, you have until the day of the test for that particular unit to still receive 70% of what you earned on that assignment. So, anything that is late will be 30% off! Anything we did in class when you were absent (or even gone for a few minutes) needs to be made up, including bell works, thoughts of the day, notes, etc.

Why you should organize your notebook and class materials AND not throw stuff out!

When we are having class discussions, raise your hand to be called on and actively listen to whoever is speaking. Teacher will give specific instructions when students are to call out answers without first raising their hands. Ask only questions that are relevant to the lesson. Be respectful of all comments and ideas, even if they differ from yours.

The teacher will say, “All eyes on me”, “I need your attention” or I will just start talking and you will have to keep up. When you hear the teacher speaking. 1) stop what you are doing. 2) look at the teacher and listen.

Sometimes, I will use the peace sign and will ask you to do the same to get your attention that way. Let’s practice!

We will always meet in the classroom! Bell work will be completed before we head out! We will walk out as a class to the computer lab. Groups will be assigned prior to going out.

Who has taken Psych 1?

Who has taken both Psych 1 and Psych 2?

Who has never taken an AP class?

Look over the hand out at home!!!

Please do not use my class to work on material for other classes. Please do not try to make up for a missed day by copying notes or whatever during class on the day you get back.

Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period.

If you have an excused absence that you could not anticipate (e.g., illness or family emergency) on the day of a test, a quiz, or an assignment due date, you should be prepared to do or turn in the work on the day you return. If you have an excused absence you know about in advance (e.g., band lesson, college visit, or doctor appointment) make arrangements with me before the absence takes place. It makes a very favorable impression when you are able to keep up despite legitimate absences.

Sign and pass up right away.

1. Although we ALWAYS lock the door FIRST, what can be used to barricade it if necessary? Look around, what can be moved in front of the door if there is time to do so? 2.

Once evacuated, how do we get to the rally point? - Auditorium side: Go to the Public Works building - Stadium side: Maintenance Buildings behind the stadium 5.
