One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Ch 4

1) How does the author reinforce Ratched as a machine?

2) What is the Combine (google it, and use references from the book)

3) Why do you think McMurphy is in the institution?

Psychology - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

After we have completed reading Chapters 1 and 2 (p. 1-14), in your notebook (which can be your old dream journal) answer the following questions.

If you write down a quote from the book, put the page number in parenthesis after the quote. For example

"She dips a nod at me as she goes past. I let the mop push me back to the wall and smile and try to foul her equipment up as much as possible by not letting her see my eyes- they can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed." (10)

This way during class discussion, when you refer to a particular point in the text, we can all easily access it.

1. Who is Nurse Rached/Big Nurse?

2. What kinds of words does the author use to describe Nurse Rached? Please make sure to reference the page on which you find these words.

3. Who is Chief Broom/Bromden?

4. Who is McMurphy? What kinds of words does the author use to describe him?

5. What does "bull goose loony" mean? Why do you think McMurphy wants to be the bull goose loony?

African Resistance Map

As with all fights for independence, many Africans battled for decades with the Europeans who were taking the African's land and resources. In fact, in the entire history of the British Empire, their biggest defeat was at the hands of an African military, which defeated a British Force 8,000 soldiers strong! Today in class you will be exploring the website below to aid you in learning more about key moments of African Resistance.

INSTRUCTIONS!!!!

When you get to the website, scroll down to the bottom. There will be a map identical to the map on your worksheet. What you must do is click on each event, and, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, record at least 2 details about each event.

Theories of Dreaming

Dreams are an essential part of the human experience - no matter when, where, or how people live, we are all united by our experience of dreams. Why we dream, however, has been a matter of debate and question for hundreds (even thousands!) of years.





Today we are going to explore various psychological theories about why people dream.

Link One - Dream Theories

1. Read the quote from Henry David Thoreau at the top of the article. What, in your own words, does he mean?

2. In your own words, what was Freud's theory of dreams?

3. Do you agree with any part of Freud's theory? Do you disagree with any part of Freud's theory? Why?

4. In your own words, what is the activation-synthesis model of dreaming?

5. Do you agree with any part of this model? Do you disagree with any part of this model? Why?

Link Two - Facts About Dreams

1. What fact surprised you the most? Why?

2. What is a lucid dream? Have you ever had one? If so, describe your experience.

3. Why do you think people experience similar, or "universal," dreams?

Please answer all questions in complete sentences. This is a 20 point assignment due Monday at the beginning of class!

Question 1 -

Latitude and Longitude Practice

Welcome!





Last week, we started by establishing our basic knowledge of Geography. We learned the definition of geography, which is the study of where people, places, and things are located and how they relate to each other. We learned about two ways of explaining location: relative and absolute. Relative location is when you describe a location in relation to another location. For example, Bosse high school is southeast of the University of Evansville's main campus. That's helpful if I know where U of E is located, but what if I don't?





Absolute location gives us two coordinates for a place - its latitude and its longitude.





Line of Latitude are imaginary lines which extend around the earth like a belt. Lines of latitude are measured either North or South of the equator in units called degrees. The Equator is the most important line of latitude, and its coordinate is zero degrees.

Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines which stretch from the north to the south pole. Lines of longitude are measured either East or West of the Prime Meridian in units called degrees. The Prime Meridian is the most important line of longitude, and its coordinate is zero degrees.

When you combine lines of longitude and latitude, they make a kind of grid on the earth. From this grid we can determine absolute location. Make sense?

To practice determining latitude and longitude, you can follow this link to a fun game. (Click on the word "link")

Helpful Hint: Remember! Lines of longitude and latitude are never negative, they are either north or south, east or west, respectively.

Also remember! When you are saying North or South, you are really saying "North or South of the equator." Likewise, when you say East or West, you are really saying "East or West of the prime meridian." Keeping this in mind will help you to succeed in this part of the course!
