Heads Up

Just some reminders, people...


  • Tomorrow be prepared to discuss and question Chapter 1 of Outliers "The Matthew Effect".  Show up ready to go!
  • Monday we will be doing "something" that will require creativity so for those of you who have "stuff" that you use to create, feel free to bring it to class...pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, stickers, glitter, feathers...stuff.  And for those of you who just freaked out, just show up and you'll be okay too.
  • Friday is SAS and I dare you to top period 7 (on fire)...who hasn't presented yet?  You know who you are...
  • And just determined, the entire book Outliers should be read in its entirety by THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3rd.  I'll post the reading "schedule" for the chapters below.  But feel free to read ahead and reread and absorb Gladwell's genius.
  • Lunch invitations will start going out next week.  Whhhhaaaaaatttttt???
  • And for those of you who like head starts, you can check out tomorrow's assignment early.

AND, in case you're interested.  
Princeton. Harvard, Stanford and Yale will be visiting and working with Point Loma students on Nov 18.   The emphasis during these mock interviews is to help students organize their presentations and help with answering questions that are often also found on the written applications.   So even though many students may not actually have an interview from a college alumnus,  it is a helpful session for many reasons.  Interviews occur with athletic coaches, volunteer opportunities, job applications etc.  Interviews are for juniors and seniors.
Mock interviews will be on Nov. 18 from 6-8.
Please sign up at the counseling office to attend.

xoxo
