Be sure to plan the year out. It should be reasonably easy for this course. End with old age, death and dying.
Throughout both courses - for god's sake use the the DISCUSSION QUESTIONS from the red textbook. So effing useful.
Note start next year with the course layout: Use a copy of pp468-471 from Themes and Variations in Psychology in order to demonstrate where we are beginning and where we are going with the course.

Marshmellow Experiment
The marshmallow experiment is a famous test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.
