Final Class Review

We will do some fun review in our final class before the exam. We'll try to help those of us who are stressed out relax a bit and get to our optimal level of intellectual arousal.

One thing we will do is write songs/raps/poems based on the following assignment:

Musical / Poetic Psych Review assignment.

Your job is to work in a small group to write and perform a song or poem.

1. Include all the terms as well as the definition AND/OR an example which illustrates each term. Two or more terms can go in the same definition or example as long as it illustrates all the terms.

2. Try to have some fun with this and create some memorable lyrics or poems. Pick a song everyone knows and re-write the words to it… it can be as simple as twinkle twinkle or some pop song that all the “kids” are singing these days.
