1) Write down 5 things you find interesting about the video. 2) What was happening in the world while these men were writing letters? Checklist Make your daily checklist. Make your goals specific and measurable. Project Work Time Planned your work? Now, work your plan. Technology Workshop Create a Google doc checklist for your tasks based off of a conversation about video camera best practices for interviews. Congratulations on a successful Spanish Exhibition last night! On the whole, the concentration and effort that students displayed last night was prodigious and inspiring. Some of your peers' projects were a little lackluster, though, I have to admit. I imagine, for assorted reasons, this inevitably happens from exhibition to exhibition, which begs the question--how do you measure what a student learns along the way if their final project isn't beautiful? Which is more important--the product or the process that got you to that product? Or, is the answer both of these things!? Take ownership of your education by having an appropriate dialogue with your teachers about this notion. Product or Process? What does this mean for you in humanities? What about your life? +++++++++++ GANG! So excited to be with you in Humanities today! IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE AN OSPREY, DON'T YOU THINK?! LET'S GET BETTER AT WHAT WE DO TODAY! I want to start a checklist revolution at Animas High School. Are you with me? CHECKLISTS SAVE! I. Starter 9 1) What are you doing to take care of yourself outside of school? How can you improve this? Be specific! 2) List your goals for Humanities work time today.
