Required Activities:

1. Choose one of the following:

2. Create five activity sheets which illustrate psychology terms, issues, etc.

*Note: the activity sheets must be different – you may only do one crossword, one word find, etc. All activities must include clues rather than a word list.

3. Read three newspaper/magazine/journal/website articles related to psychology issues. Write a review of each (appropriate length). Must include a printout of the articles you choose. I must approve all articles.
