It was nice seeing you today...
I know I am a bit obsessed with books and that not everyone loves to read like me but for those of you on the "dark side" of staying up too late to read "just one more chapter", enjoy this article. Regardless of your politics, aren't you interested in reading the same books as the 44th president? I know I am!
Starting tonight, and for the rest of the time you are enrolled in my class, THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR HOMEWORK: Read for pleasure for at least 15 minutes each night. Do it! It's an act of radical empathy; it opens you up, you'll learn, you will BECOME. If you need any suggestions, we are going to be taking a survey on Monday and Tuesday that will shed some light on what books would be in your wheelhouse. Plus I will help you. Just ask. Stop by at lunch or advisory...
For Finals Day, be prepared to articulate the following (NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES PLEASE):
- Your Issue
- Cite your 6 sources
- Summarize 1 source
- Share your current opinion (and if it's been altered since you began)
That's it! We will write essays galore semester 2. Promise.
Enjoy the rest of your day and I look forward to a great (and final) SAS for semester 1.
xoxo
P.S. - Get some rest. Sleep is when your body heals. An extra hour of sleep improves your productivity. So, tonight (after you prep your lemon wedges for the morning) read for 15 minutes and GO TO SLEEP.
You have me hooked on some Stevie Wonder <3
