Your Final Project

AP Psychology Final Project Final Exam

I would like everyone to creat a multimedia type project that reflects two concept that we have learned in psychology this year.

This project can be an imovie format - see this link for tutorial

http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#iphoto

You can also use this format for making an iphoto booth

This project will be assessed in the following ways:

Next Thursday May 28th you will need to present to me where you are in your project. This can be reflected as a storyboard, outline, script or two page synopsis. Please email these to me at amytrusso@gmail.com. FYI you will be graded on this part of the project at 70% of your final grade. WHY ? I feel that the process is the most important part of the project as it reflects your thought process, your organizational skill set, ideas, and content mastery.

Sources – Keep track of all of your sources. Proper citations please. 10 points

15 Points What is the Main Idea or Theme?

May 18th

Today we will be having scientists from UCSF come to our classroom to help us in brain dissections. Show up to class on time with questions and your enthusiastic self.
I will expect a report similar to a lab report detailing what you observed during the dissections.

Final Project
Your final project will be your final exam. Each of you (either in groups of 2 or 4) are required to create and present your final. Your final project is on a topic in psychology that you have discussed with me. The format must be a multimedia presentation. We will be heading to the computer lab this thursday and i will show you how to use the imovie and iphoto program . The format can also be a powerpoint presentation. You will be required to present it during finals week to the class. The idea would be that I would be able to use your presentation in my psychology class in the following years.
See Me for More Details.
