Suggestions for college courses

[k.kade at att.net]

Hi, Carol and all.... I also will be teaching for the first time this fall at Alaska Pacific University.  I will be teaching thier intro to psych class and life span development from 0 - teens.  My books were already selected so I have little choice in regards to that... However next semester I can choose my own books and am curious what people have used for books that are more psychodramatically orientated.  The classes are suppose to be in action and lecture is not encouraged (cooool).  I also am curious if people have some ideas for papers that I could supplement the books with specially for this semester.

So succintly stated:

Action orientated teaching ideas

Papers and articles to supplement books

Books for teaching intro to psyche and lifespan development.

Thank-you! Kaya

p.s. This list is great!
