AP Psychology
Vocabulary Choice Menu
You must complete ONE of the following activities for the first unit in Psychology. After the first
unit anyone can continue to complete vocabulary for an extra points. However, if you fail a
vocabulary quiz you will be required to complete one vocabulary activity for the next unit. BUT
the good news is if you pass a vocabulary quiz you are not required to complete the vocabulary
activity for the next unit.
Option 1: Traditional Vocab
Write a textbook definition
for each vocabulary term in
a notebook. Then you must
also write what I call a “Mrs
Graham” definition. A “Mrs
Graham” definition is an
easy definition, written in
easy terms. Write the name
of the unit (i.e. Unit 1:
History and Approaches) at
the top of the page. Also,
you must number the terms
going down the left side of
the page.
Option 2: Flashcards
For each vocabulary term,
write the word on the front
of an index card and the
definition on the back of the
card., you should be able to
easily “flip” through the
cards to study your
vocabulary terms.
Option 3: Unit Preview Report
Review each vocabulary term
assigned for the unit. Select at
least half of the terms and use
those terms appropriately in a
report that summarizes what you
currently know about the unit we
are preparing to discuss. Your
summary should NOT include
basic definitions. This is a formal
writing assignment that requires
thoughtfulness, proper grammar,
and “flow.” Use your textbook or
other source to clarify your
understanding prior to writing
BUT plagiarism (the copying of
material without giving credit to
the originator) will NOT be
tolerated.
Option 4: Original
Crossword Puzzle
Using my template or an
online crossword puzzle
generator, create an
ORIGINAL crossword puzzle
using all of your vocabulary
terms. You may shorten
your definitions BUT the
descriptions should be
specific and discernable.
You must turn in a paper
copy of your crossword
puzzle and an answer key.
Option 5: Quizlet
You may go to Quizlet.com
and create a set of study
cards using all of the
vocabulary terms for the
assigned unit. Do this using
the rules of the vocab in
Option 1. Join our class on
Quizlett, GRAHAM's AP
PSYCHOLOGY. You can use
your set to play games/take
practice tests/etc.
Option 6: Meaningful
Generalizations
Review all of the vocabulary
terms for the assigned unit and
group the terms together based
on patterns/relationships. Once
the words have been grouped,
you must write a short
description (at least 3 sentences)
that explains the grouping of your
terms. Your explanation should
indicate a clear understanding of
the terms in review.
