Hear ye, Hear Ye, We are pleased to announce the last

cultural event of the year. This experience is in celebration
of a year of hard work in the field of Psychology.

Council Rock AP Psychology Year-End

Experience
Ye Olde C.R.A.P.P.Y.E. Day
(Psych Faire)

In celebration of this accomplishment, we will have the ninth annual

Council Rock Advanced Placement Psychology Year-end
Experience
on June 2 & 3, 2011.

In order to celebrate and receive credit for this C.R.A.P.P.Y.E. day, you will need
to participate fully in the activity. This will require each participant to be creative
and to think “outside the box.” Through the creative use of food, psong, pskit, or
impersonation, you will exhibit your greatest memory or learning experience of
the year.

PSome less than pserious CRAPPYE day psuggestions have been:

1. Chicken wings (extra hot) to commemorate B.F. Skinner’s famous
experiment. [Pigeon wings are really tough to find]
2. A musical psalute to child development. (In honor of the noted
PSWISS psychologist, Jean Piaget.)
3. The theatrical debut of “Baby, You Pshock My World” ( A CR Psouth
psalute to Stanley Milgram)
4. Become Dr. Philip Zimbardo for the day.

There are many ways you can pshow what you’ve learned this year.
Projects should be research based and use the pscientific method.
Experiments, psurvey, case pstudies or naturalistic observations are acceptable
research-based projects.

It is REQUIRED that you receive teacher approval of your idea to avoid

duplication. (Can you imagine 85 people dressed like Phil?)
Your exhibit MUST pshow an understanding of your topic and be a learning tool
for the class.
Working with a partner(s) is permitted.

Deadlines: May 12, 2011 Proposals Due

May 13, 2011 Approvals returned
May 13, 2011 Begin work on projects (If Approved)

 (over)

This can be a group project, (4 max.) Your group can consist of pstudents from
other AP Psych classes.

Projects/Presentations pshould include an Operational Definition and all aspects

of the PScientific Method as well as any appropriate historical background on
your research project.

Your projects will require IN PSCHOOL and afterschool time. If you are not
working on your project during class, then you pshould be participating as a
psubject in psomeone else’s project. Your participation in other projects is a
requirement.

*As part of the review and approval process, your project idea must conform to
ethical guidelines. Ethical guidelines MUST be followed throughout the project.

Failure to follow ethical guidelines do pso will result in the project

receiving a zero grade (0)!

The project is worth 25% of your 4th MP grade.

We hope you enjoy this activity and have a CRAPPYE Day.
