Thursday, February 9 -- Week 3 TRADITIONAL CALENDAR

Kudos to Nicole for posting quality work!  She references the text and she offers great connections to her life!

 

Week 3 continues and is due Friday.  Happy Windshield Check Day!

Weeks 1 and 2 will not be counted late.  For missing work, I will be using zeros as placeholders -- once you turn in the missing Week 1 or Week 2 work, I will replace the zero with your earned grade.  

Are you reading announcements daily?  If not, your missing out!  If you did not read Monday's Daily Announcement, go back and read it -- Monday announcements include explanations of the week's assignments and will guide you to post quality work.

Need reminders of due dates? To help you keep up with deadlines, use your course calendar. Click on View Calendar in the far right column of our homepage. You can also use your checklists. On the second page of each module, you will find a checklist of assignments for that module/week. Another way to keep up is to sign up for Remind texts/emails.  To sign up for early calendar (EC) reminders, text @tcdettman to 81010.

Logging in for the first time?  Be sure to read the Daily Announcements from the last 2 weeks so you know what to do to get started.

Ready, set, lead!

In Week 3 Lesson 2, Maxwell explains the boomerang principle.  Just like the actual boomerang, whatever you decide to throw out into the world will fly away, circle back and come back to you. If may sound too simplistic, however the boomerang principle is true.  When someone around you throws out joy, you usually catch it and feel joy yourself; when someone throws out rudeness, you catch that as well.  What do you want to throw out into the world?  

Practice the boomerang principle daily.  It only takes a few minutes a day to put positive out into the world. Maxwell says “When you go into your day planning to do an intentional act of kindness, you begin focusing on others, which is a key to significance.”  Throw out kindness today.  Text me with the results!

Before posting any of your assignments, ask yourself the following questions:

a. Did I follow all instructions?
b. Did I completely answer the questions?
c. Do I clearly reflect that I understand and am thinking about the topic?  Did I use any weekly vocab?
d. Do I clearly reflect that I am applying the topic to my life--asking questions, giving examples, etc.?
