AP PSYCH IS LIKE LASAGNA . . .
There are layers of understanding that need to be built:
INDEPENDENT LEARNING Vocabulary (al dente noodles) Objectives (meat/tofu)
CLASS LEARNING Notes/Discussions (sauce) Activities (cheese)

READING TO BE INFORMED BEFORE YOU READ:
Scan over the assigned reading How is the book formatted? What do you notice?
Ask yourself “what do I already know about the topics?”
AS YOU READ: Take notes to help you construct meaning and recall information
When you don’t understand something, reread the passage. If that still doesn’t work, ask Mr. McBride the next day!
