JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Don't You Remember" by Adele; "Memory" by Barbra Streisand]
When
we read we make connections between the text and what we already know.
Sometimes we find ourselves surprised when a book calls to mind an old
memory we haven't thought about in a long time. What are your earliest
memories? What makes some things impossible to remember and other
things impossible to forget?
AGENDA:
*Moment of Mindfulness (& mindfully turn in your resume)
1. Journal
2. Affirm or revise weekly schedule
3. Take full advantage of Freedom Friday: this is your last opportunity in class to catch up before the end of the grading period
POST:
Describe something you've done really well in this course. Find at least one thing that makes you proud as you look back. (title: FOR THE WIN)
