Guest Teacher Lesson Plan, October 10, 2019
Thank you so much for teaching my class today!
1. In their four-square groups should finish using the "Alien and Sedition Acts Document Based Activity' (from yesterday) to make a group list (and each student needs to make their own individual list) of the problem facing American society in the Early Republic. (For about 20 minutes on this part...spend about 10 minutes asking students to share out a summary of what the "problems" are, and what they think caused them.)
2. Staying in their groups, students should complete the Jeffersonian Democracy Analysis (you can display this on the screen). Using their textbooks and or Chromebooks students should complete the analysis (about 40 minutes). Each student needs to keep their own analysis. Have students share the remaining part of the period sharing out their findings to the class. The remaining parts of the class should add to their own individual notes what is being shared.

Periods 1 and 3: AP Psychology
Students are currently studying Abnormal Psychology. They have an activity that has been posted in Google Classroom that is called DSM-V and Diagnostic Case Studies. A copy of the Google Document is linked HERE. The instructions are very clear, but please make sure to tell them that they need to read the first two pages of the document very carefully. The students are to work in their foursquare groups (they know that this means) to collaboratively complete the assignment. I've specified that they need to have at least five of the case studies completed, but that they could reasonably have seven or eight of them done before the end of the period. I *think* that this should take them the whole period. However, if they are seemingly all done with the assignment when there is about 30-minutes remaining then please show them the Discovering Psychology video, "Psychopathology."
Tell them that I will have an update to their Weekly Agenda by 3:30 PM today, but that they will not have a Test on Unit 12 tomorrow.
Period 4: Current Issues
Students are have just started studying the topic of Terrorism and Global Security.

WHAT!? You want me to watch 4 videos and take notes?
YEP. You have an AP Exam in 14 days. This allows you to know the bulk of the therapies discussed in Mods 70--73, and to know them in the detail that you'll need.
What can help?

Class: AP US History, 1st, 3rd, and 4th Periods:
Class periods are 80 minutes-long today. The students are beginning their study of the beginnings of the American Revolution.
- Remind students that they have a quiz over Chapter 4 on Monday. Also, explain to them that the video that they see in class today may very much help them with preparing for that quiz, and so they should take good notes.
- Show the Video: "Liberty! The American Revolution, Episode 1: The Reluctant Revolutionaries" (link opens video at YouTube)
- Point out to students that this video includes two things of importance that they should note in their own class notes: The beginnings of the video show aspects of how American colonists thought of themselves prior to difficulties with the British. Students should write these questions as a heading in their notes:
- What is the mood of the colonists as the French and Indian War comes to an end?
- What do the colonists think of themselves as being part of the British Empire and as being part of England?
- What is the way in which the British social structure works and where do the colonists belong in that social structure?
- Pause the video at about the 14:00 imark (after the part where they talk about the Gainsborough Portraits) and have students take about 5 minutes, in their groups, discuss the points that they should include in their notes that answer these questions.
- Then, point out to students that the remaining part of the video will begin the cause-and-effect relationship in which a series of British actions will increasingly anger the colonists and push them further to feeling that the British are mistreating them. They should take notes that help to answer the following questions:
- What acts are passed by Parliament that the colonists consider troublesome?
- What is it about each act that angers the colonists?
- How do colonists react, and then how do the British respond?
- This should take the students to the end of the period, which is shorter today due to the Homeroom Schedule. If the video ends with time left in the period then students should make sure they work in groups to clarify their answers to these questions so that they can have their notes be as complete as possible.

Homeroom Period (10:56 AM, after 2nd Period):
- Homeroom period is new to CCA this year and today is what is called a "Business Day," in which there are presentations which are to be done as part of schoolwide efforts:
- Google Document with today's Business Day Plan
- Start the period by showing CCA TV. The episode link is typically e-mailed to staff each Friday morning. I've included the link to the CCA YouTube channel here. The video should be available there using today's date as a guide. You can also refresh this page; if I obtain the link from home and am able to link it here I will do so. I will also see if I can put the link on the Google Document linked above if, again, I am able to receive the link ahead of time. Should I not be able to do so then you should be able to find it on the YouTube channel listed above.
- The Google Document listed here lists the step-by-step plan for today and also includes a link to a short video presentation that is to be shown to students after CCA TV is finished.

Period 4: Current Issues
Students are have just started studying the topic of Terrorism and Global Security.
- Please tell them that we will resume with their Inquiry Questions activity that they began when I return on Wednesday.
- Tell students that they should log-in to Google Classroom and look for the "What is Terrorism" assignment. Tell them that they should take detailed notes on the specified Google Form. Remind them that they will need to submit the assignment when they are finished with that portion. The directions for the assignment are listed in the posting.
- Have students watch this professor's video on Defining Terrorism and take appropriate notes.
- Next, have students contrast that definition with one offered by a media outlet by watching this definition offered by CNN and take appropriate notes.
- Then tell students that they have 10 minutes to respond to the final question on the "What is Terrorism" assignment on Google Classroom.
- Please note that I have specified that students need to have this submitted into Google Classroom by 2:05 PM
- Next, explain to students that almost everyone in the United States associates the "start" of terrorism with the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City and Washington, but that there is a history that pre-dates this. Tell them at at 2:05 PM a new assignment is posted in Google Classroom called, "Terrorism Beginnings." This consists of a reading portion that should be read silently and individually . Students should read and take notes until approximately 2:30 PM.
- After they have read the assigned portion students should then see a new post that appears at 2:30 called "Terrorism Introduction and Evolution Group Discussion," and that in their groups of four (which is arranged by their seating assignment) they should discuss the main questions . However, each individual student needs to take notes on the discussion and submit the assignment in Google Classroom. This assignment is due at 3:00 PM. If they are not finished then they have to complete the individual responses as homework. Remind them that Classroom will show that the assignment is submitted late. Please tell them that late assignments will be subject to not receiving credit.
- If they finish this early (and they could, but I'd be suspicious) then lead a discussion with them on the discussion questions, which you can find on THIS COPY of the document.
- If my timeline is too tight then tell them that you'll make sure that you let me know that is why assignments are submitted late. However, the students in this class are great, and fun, but they like to talk and waste time--so, please stay on them and remind them that they're under a strict guideline. They'll ask you to show the news from the Today show. Tell them that is not on the agenda for today.

Students are currently studying the unit "Motivation and Emotion."
AP Psychology: 1st and 3rd Periods:
1. Tell students that their bell work has been postponed to MONDAY.
2. Tell students that their test has been postponed to TUESDAY.
3. Students need to be overly familiar with theories of emotion and of motivation. These videos are good in my absence .
- First, have students watch this Khan Academy video "ANS and Physiologic Markers of Emotion." They need to take notes. You'll probably need to stop and let them catch up at points.
- Second, have them watch "Three Components of Emotion..." and again, take notes.
- Third, have them watch "Theories of Emotion," and again, take notes. For this one, students may wish to make a chart so that they can keep them all organized.
- They can then round all this off with a fun visit from their favorite online psychologist, Dr. Zimbardo, with his take on "Motivation and Emotion," and again take notes. But important with this one is to watch for examples that Zimbardo shows--scenarios that he presents, and to take notes of such.
Guest Teacher Lesson Plans, 03-14-2019:
AP Psychology: Periods 1 and 3:
Students are currently studying the unit “Motivation and Emotion.”
1st:
- Students should watch this video lecture "Motivation: Hunger" (about 9 mins). They do need to take notes, so it will be helpful for you to pause at points for them to write down information from the slides--but also emphasize to them that they need to write down supplemental information that is provided by Mrs. Rice, as well. This should take no more than a total of 25 minutes.
- Students will watch the BBC Documentary, “Food on the Brain" which should take about one hour total.
- (The video is apparently a copy with some editing issues; there are places where the sound seems to cut out but it hasn’t. These are montage scenes that are missing background music; just let the video play.
- What Students Should Do with this video:
- Ask them to have their notebooks out and to be prepared to take notes on the observations from the film.
- Ask the students to make sure that they put all psychology textbooks under their desks; no one should have a book open.
- Students should determine: what is the central question that is guiding the documentary makers?
- Students should identify what each of the psychology professionals demonstrate and state as being part of the central question asked by the documentary. What is the reason for eating disorders that lead to obesity?
Current Issues:
- Students have been exploring Law/Order/Crime and have been viewing the "Prison State" documentary. This link will take you directly to the point just before we finished on Wednesday. There are approximately 40 minutes of viewing that remains for students.

1st and 3rd Period: AP Psychology
- Students should know that their Quiz #5 is going to be on MONDAY, 3/ 4. I will make schedule adjustments accordingly and will announce these to students over the weekend.P
- Please tell the student that in order to keep them on pace I'd like them to "visit Dr. Zimbardo," and to see some AP Psychology videos on our unit right now. That second part w ill mean some "lecture" videos, and they'll not care for this, but it's the best way I know to keep them on track.
- First: Have them watch Zimbardo, "The Mind: Awake and Asleep," and to take relevant notes.
- Second, have them watch this AP Psychology lesson on "Sleep" and definitely take notes.
- Third, have them watch this AP Psychology lesson on "Dreams and Sleep Disorders," and definitely take notes.
- Fourth, have them watch Zimbardo, "Learning," and note the contributions of key researchers in the study of learning behaviors.
- Today Show (show through the end of the weather report; they like Al Roker)
- Students should start the day by watching the news headlines portion of the Today Show and completing *by paper* the Current Event Log entry for today.
- Students should then watch “Inside North Korea,” from National Geographic, to see what life is like within the secretive country.
