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. Think big picture and small picture... 3) Now, create a checklist with specific, measurable goals for today. -Example: a) Spend 20 minutes sourcing documents 1-5. b) Spend 10 minutes meeting with Veteran's group to review and complete our project checklist through today's date.
