Share with Lori your Aggression Paragraphs! I will be checking time stamps, so make sure I have them in the first 5 minutes of class or they will be late. I am out at a conference today- please watch the documentary below, and keep notes on the 5 most interesting things you learned from it! You can either hook up one of your computers to my projector and speakers, or watch individually. Be nice to James. :)

HOMEWORK: Finish 4 Aggression paragraphs above. Share with Lori BEFORE the start of class on FRIDAY. Step 1: Overview
Read this summary of research compiled by the APA (American Psychological Association) on Violence and the Media. As you read, create a T-Chart. On one side, list evidence for the view that yes, there IS a link between watching/playing violent media and increased aggressive behavior. On the other side, list evidence for the view that no, there IS NOT a link between watching/playing violent media and increased aggressive behavior. Step 2: Dig Deeper Okay, now you need to read one more piece about this. Continue adding to your T-Chart. This will be the basis of discussion on Friday, and will be necessary to answer a long-response question on the quiz. Consider choosing from this list, or find your own!
