Hurricane Florence Make-Up Guidelines - UPDATED

• Students with missing work should begin with the current module and then complete missing work once the current module is done.  Remember to use daily announcements for current as well as for missing work - use your resources!
• Late work penalties will not apply to Modules 1-8.  Late work penalties will resume with Module 9 - keep me posted if this is an issue due to Hurricane Michael.
• If your county is one of over 30 districts in the state that was declared a federal disaster zone as a result of Hurricane Florence and chose to take advantage of the General Assembly's offer to waive 10 or 20 days, your grade book has been edited to meet the waivers and you as well as your parents and school have been notified by email.  You will notice that you are part of a 10 Day Modified or a 20 Day Modified section within our course if you are in one of those 30 counties.  It will not change your work - it is there to help me and other stakeholders know your circumstances.

Got Storybird?  This week you will be using a new web 2.0 tool called Storybird in Lesson 1 and 2.  It has amazing illustrations and is a great tool to express yourself.  Enjoy this tool as you explore your external and internal obstacles.  Look at the quick tutorial I posted in yesterday's announcement to help you with your Lesson 1 and Lesson 2 assignments.

Got Resources?  NCPVS provides lots of resources outside of our course to support you.  For virtual help from a peer, go to the Peer Tutoring Center. For technology issues, issue a help desk ticket with the Virtual Support Center. To learn more about the world around you, attend a Culture Cafe session. Click on the visual below to explore all of the resources NCVPS provides to you:

Today's Assignment:

• Module 9 Lesson 1 Assignment

Module 9 Lesson 1 Assignment
From your Practice Activity, it is obvious that you understand how to overcome external obstacles.  Pick another external obstacle (one that you have not overcome yet).  Using the notes as well as your leadership skills, decide how you can overcome it.  Then tell the story of how you will overcome it.  You are encouraged to use Storybird - it has great visuals and it allows you to create an online book.  If Storybird does not work, use another application like Google Slides.  If you use another application, be sure to post a Works Cited for your visuals.

Tips:

• Remember to focus on your leadership goal(s). How can you relate your life goal(s) to being a better leader?
• For your plan, consider more details about how you will overcome the obstacles. What can you add from the notes that would help you get to where you want to go?
• If you use another application, be sure to post a Works Cited for your visuals.
