Today I celebrate YOU! Happy Valentine's Day!
Week 4 begins yesterday and is due Friday. I will open Week 5 tomorrow for anyone who wants to work ahead.
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.
Got collaboration? As you learned in Week 3, collaboration with other leaders is one of the best ways to grow. You have the opportunity to collaborate with your peers each week in our discussion boards. Replies to classmates should show your understanding of what your classmate said and then offer affirmation and/or advice related to the week's content and your life experience. Back up your ideas in your replies the same way you would back up your ideas in your assignments -- use state evidence and explain it. Devon Haynie said it best in his article for US News:
Students should also keep in mind that discussion boards are meant to be conversations, where each post builds on the previous comment. "Good response posts are response posts that do not only agree or disagree," says Ebner. "When you read another student's post, you have the ability to expand the conversation." To do that, students can reference material or, when appropriate, relate it to their own life experience, he says.
Need help with text-based answers? We do not have a textbook however we do have text. When you are posting your assignments, you should be referring to and explaining what you have learned from the text. Please read the texts and/or take the analysis quizzes (you have another one coming up) -- skipping the content means you are just going through the motions and not growing as a leader. This course is not designed to be completion only. To help you reference the text, I created several resources. Where can you find these resources?
- Gradebook Feedback -- I attach resources to my feedback to help you with reposting as well as with future assignments.
- Our Class Website -- Go to https://www.smore.com/18w65 (Links to an external site.) to view the resources outside of Canvas.
- Attached to This Announcement -- Check out PEEL.
How many times has an adult told you to stop wasting time? Or how about how many times has an adult complained about your time on a device? So do teens have trouble managing time?

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.?
