1. First thing for today, you will need to review the syllabus. It is found under "Important Links" to the right. When you are done, please open the following Google Form (FOUND IN GOOGLE CLASSROOM) to confirm that you have read and understood the procedures of this class. If you have any questions about the syllabus, let me know.
2. Make sure that you have completed the yearbook survey!!! (Found on August 16th post)
3. For today, you were to read and annotate the "5 Characteristics of Grit"... you have also watched Angela Duckworth's "Passion and Perseverance" Ted Talk.. Today you are going to reflect upon the concept of grit in your own lives...
Please provide a written reflection addressing the following prompt:
How have you already exhibited GRIT in your life? How do you hope to enhance your GRITTINESS this year in school? How do you think that GRIT is tied to LEARNING.
Open up a Google Doc from Classroom... Please put the MLA heading at the top right of your paper. If you need a refresher, there is a MLA Heading Sample found under "Important Links". (Look right).
In your response, you will need to incorporate a minimum of 3 direct quotes from the Perlis "Five Characteristics of Grit" article.
Do you remember how to basically introduce a quote? Here is an example:
Perlis explains, "While courage is hard to measure, it is directly proportional to your level of grit" ("5 Characteristics").
** I put the opening words of the title in the parentheses because I used the authors name in the "tag line" of the quote. There are not page numbers for this source.
