I found this game. Also, this site. They cover old stuff, but might be good review.

Essay: Remember the format... be sure to IDENTIFY, DEFINE, APPLY each term.

Mary is an international flight attendant who has been having difficulty staying awake during her flights. She feels like something is wrong with her sleep habits, but she doesn't know what.

Identify each of the following concepts and describe why her sleep specialist would mention each of them during Mary's appointment.

a. Insomnia
b. REM sleep
c. Sleep apnea
d. Drug abuse
e. Narcolepsy

Essays: I totally forgot to post the essay questions... I'll do it when I get to school in the morning!

Chapter 6 test change: We will spend the first half of Wednesday's block period finishing our presentations and reviewing the chapter. We will then take the multiple choice portion of the test.

I will give you the essay topic tomorrow, and you will write the essay in class on Friday.

Go to www.glogster.com to investigate. You can begin to create your glogster to present. Be sure to include the following information about your drug/category:

1. Name
2. Physiological mechanisms (What does it do in the brain and how?)
3. Side effects
4. Legal status (DEA Controlled Substance schedule)
5. Historical context
6. Impact of long-term use
7. Anything else interesting

The glogster allows you to include not only text, but animated graphics, photos, videos and sound as well. Be sure your final product is better/more interesting than if you'd used poster board and markers!
