Weeks 10 and 11 began last week. Remember that because these two weeks are about Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, they are due together on Monday, November 14. To stay on schedule, you should be starting Week 11 work today.
Our 2-weeks of Covey continues. Here are a few tips for completing your habits work:
Week 10 Tips
Habit 1, Habit 2, Habit 3, Habit 4 - Read the questions before you read the content. For each question, offer at least 3 complete sentences for your answer. Then reread the questions and review your answers. Did you fully answer the questions? Did you answer all of the questions? Did you cite the text in your answer? Did you demonstrate why your answer is correct and prove your points? Consider the skills you have been sharpening this semester. Did those skills show up in your post? Navy Seals say it best when they say "anything worth doing is worth over-doing." Completing a task feels awesome but if you did not do the task well, you wasted time.
Covey Forum - if the site does not open in Canvas, cut and paste the URL into a new page and/or new browser. Explore the site -- read teen stories from around the world, pick the baby steps you want to track, find your voice using the voice finder, take the checkup quiz, explore the help desk topics, and do complete the great discovery act to create your own mission statement. This site is full of relevant, real advice so take the time to get the most out of it. Answer all of the questions in the prompt and be sure to explain the parts of the site that you find the most interesting. Offer details as evidence of your understanding.
Menchen Journal - If you have trouble responding to a quote, research the concept of the quote. Avoid vague statements -- explain your ideas in detail. Be sure your answers relate to the Covey Habits. You must show your understanding of the content to get full credit.
Week 11 Tips
Habit 5, Habit 6, Habit 7 - Read the questions before you read the content. For each question, offer at least 3 complete sentences for your answer. Then reread the questions and review your answers.

Making Good Decisions Better - Before reading the article, read the questions. As you read, take notes on the answers and find quotations from the text to use as evidence. Then answer the questions in your post so that your classmates can comment. Be sure you answer each part of the question and that you connect to Covey's habits. If you do not have examples from your life, use a TV, book or movie character. When you answer #4, consider the quality that you chose from Week 7's "A Life That Counts" post -- is the quality the same? why or why not?
