In class today we discussed the Modern Perspectives of Psychology and how any and every experience can be viewed from any perspective and vice-versa. We briefly discussed the first two steps of conducting a scientific experiment which are: 1) Form a Question and 2) Form a Hypothesis.  We handed out 2 assignments today as well which are as follows:
1. Modern Perspectives worksheet- Front side is filling in the perspectives. This can be done from the book if you were absent today.  The backside is to look up a crazy action of a celebrity and describe their behavior in each of the 7 perspectives.  THIS IS DUE ON MONDAY!

2. Social Norms Assignment- This is now on the blog so print it out if you were gone.  Everybody needs to have chosen a norm to break BEFORE  they get to class on Monday as well as a question and a hypothesis! There is also a Conducting Scientific Research worksheet that goes along with it, but it is more for reference than anything.  It is to help you visualize the research process.

I know this is a lot of info so let me know if you have any questions! Also remember that there is reading as always for Monday, pp. 29-34 in preparation for a quiz.
