Today in the WIGL

Welcome to Psychology. Today you will have some tasks to complete before the end of the day so please make sure that you use your time wisely!


1.             Respond to this post by putting your name, period, a destination that you'd like to go and a destination that you've been that you love. (Make sure that you know how to get here in the future)
2.             Go to www.turnitin.com, make sure that you have added this class. If you have an account this process will be easier. If you don't have an account follow the steps for creating an account and make sure to remember your information for later use. (Write down in your Journal). Once there and you have completed the steps for adding my class. Go to the "discussion' tab. View the prompt. FOLLOW the directions (When responding to a student post please make sure to give thoughtful details and also your name at the end of the comment). Once you have completed that please move to the next step. *Hint opening up multiple tabs may help you in this process.
Class id:  7th  Period: 8543553                Password: reed
3.     Create a Google Drive account. We will be using Google Drive for many class projects and assignments. You don’t have to have a Gmail account to access this, but it is easier to use with a Gmail account. You can also create a Google account using another email. After you have created your Google Drive account, create a new document and write one paragraph about the following question: Why is that when students/teachers return from summer break they are either happy or sad? What factors contribute to a response? After you have written your paragraph, click the blue “share” button in the top right corner and share it with me (jim.reed@washougalsd.org). 

Information for using your school/google account (Which is what you should use)
Students who already had an e-mail address from last year (most of them) kept that same e-mail.  I did not make any changes to existing accounts. 

For students who are new or did not have one last year, their e-mail will be First_Last@washougalsd.org (or the same First_Last_Last if they have two last names, or First_First_Last if they have two first names).   Spaces were pulled out of names in the same pattern described above, as e-mail addresses may not have spaces in them.  

EMAIL passwords are set to PantherMMDD where MMDD is their birthdate as a four digit number (January 1 is 0101) - Also note that it's Panther with a capital P, and not panthers with an S at the end like it is above).  If they changed their password last year, it's set to whatever they sent it to - I didn't reset them all.  


This is due at the conclusion of class.
4.             If you get done please start reading the first section pgs 3-6 take reading notes on the reading. You need 5 main idea that are read, do not be vague. Use complete sentences…

Welcome to Psychology with Mr. Reed

Welcome, in this class we will study the background, theories, important people in the field of psychology and how the brain works and why it works the way it does. Please note that documents used in class will be posted either in a link or on the side bar. Please note the calendar at the bottom. It is a great tool in case you have missed any days.
