It is almost time to start next semester. I am excited to see you all and to get started on what we have planned for this semester!
Watch Video
In order to be prepared for the first week of class, please watch this video: The Neuroscience of the Teenage Brain with Sarah-Jayne Blakemore.
It is about an hour and will take some concentration on your part, but I think you will find it really interesting!
While watching, please answer these questions (and bring to class):
1. Which two studies/experiments discussed by the presenter did you find most interesting? And why?
2. What are five takeaways from this presentation? (E.g., what did you find interesting; what surprised you; what did you agree/disagree with; what have you seen examples of in your own life, etc.)
Read (optional)
Get a head start on the semester by starting to read A Teen’s Guide to the Five Love Languages. We won’t be discussing it until week 2 (or 3).
Before you start reading it, be sure to take the quiz toward the end of the book to find out what your love language is.
Books for Semester
Remember to get the books for the semester. I sent an email to everyone on January 8th that lists the books that you will need. If you have any questions, let me know!
