These are slides I use on the first day of my introductory Educational Psychology course. I use Malcolm Gladwell’s (2000) ’blink’ as a companion text. One the first day, in groups of 5-6, students reenact the gambling game described in his first chapter. Attached are slides that help students work through the activity. I have companion materials (a full lesson plan, worksheets, and labels to create the two decks of cards). Feel free to contact me if you would like copies of these materials.
