AP Research: Where to find inspiration?

So you’ve made it through AP Seminar – now what? You have developed your skills, both written and presentation, and practiced them all of last year. The difference with AP Research is now applying those research methods and practices to a topic of your own choosing. This year-long project will culminate in a research paper, presentation and oral defense which will make up your entire course!

Because the year will ultimately come down to the research and presentation of this one question, it is important to choose a topic you enjoy, can be passionate about, and most of all, can stand reading about it for the next 10 months. As you will learn from this course, I cannot make the choices for you however, I can help inspire your journey if you need inspiration. Read below for some favourite books and podcasts of mine:

It’s a real mix! Also note, I’ll be updating this site regularly.

Mihic’s Podcast Recommendations:

Freakonomics Radio – hosted by author Stephen Dubner. “Each week, Freakonomics Radio tells you things you always thought you knew (but didn’t) and things you never thought you wanted to know (but do) — from the economics of sleep to how to become great at just about anything.”

No Stupid Questions – hosted by Freakonomics author and Freakonomics Radio host, Stephen Dubner, and psychologist, researcher, and author of Grit, Angela Duckworth.

Revisionist History – hosted by bestselling author, Malcolm Gladwell. “Each week for 10 weeks, Revisionist History will go back and reinterpret something from the past: an event, a person, an idea. Something overlooked. Something misunderstood.”

Secret Life of Canada – CBC podcast; hosted by Falen Johnson and Leah Simon Bowen. “The Secret Life of Canada is a history podcast about the country you know and the stories you don’t.”

Under the Influence – CBC podcast; hosted by adverting and marketing expert, Terry O’Reilly. “Under the Influence gives listeners a rare backstage pass into the hallways, boardrooms and recording studios of the ad industry. ”

Websites and Blogs:

CBC

BBC

SSRN – a weird website one can easily get lost in. Recommended by one of my favourite thinkers, Malcolm Gladwell, the site lists recently published papers from Social Science disciplines.

Globe and Mail

The Economist

Psych 12 – Body Language Video

Hi Psych 12,

Some of you had trouble accessing this video from the PowerPoint presentation so here it is!

Watch the video below and take notes of up to 1-page on what you’ve learned from video. Submit these in Assignments on O-365 Teams when done.

April 6, 2020 – Updates

To all my Psychology 12, AP Capstone, and Law 12 classes: keep calm and wash you hands. For some of you, this period of an indefinite school closure will feel like freedom and for others it may feel like boredom or being overwhelmed. Either way, Mihic is thinking of you. I’m one of those weirdos who misses going into work, talking to people while drinking gallons of coffee so ya, this is a combination of boredom and stress all in one. 

I have nothing to report until next week when I’ll begin posting activities for each of my classes (don’t worry – I’ll email them out too). If you’re bored, you can always check out my Twitter account (@MsMihic) where I’ve posted a daily log since going into Covid lockdown and where I’ve also shared some course-related ideas. 

UPDATES – CHECK YOUR EMAIL!!!

Hi gang!

Hopefully you’re all doing well, staying safe, and keeping as sane as you can at this strange time.

As you already know, school is closed for the indefinite future.  Does that mean school is cancelled? Absolutely not! We’re just moving to a modified and online format. I know that many of you may have a lot on you plate right now so I’m just trying to slowly build some routine and structure into your lives over the next while. 

Task 1: Log into Microsoft Teams. This is easiest by:

  1. Going into you school Office 365 account using your username and password. You will need to use your school email and password and then click on the top left corner to select teams once logged in. It is labelled as “O365-North-Mihic-PSYCH12-P1”.
  2. In the “Post” section, write a comment as to how you’re doing, any questions, comments, what you thought about the Tiger King show on Netflix,  or whatever (but keep it clean)… just so I know you’re ok otherwise I’ll be calling home by the end of the week. Feel free to email me if none of this makes sense.

We’ll start some real work next week. 

Take care and stay safe. 

Ms. Mihic
