"Before I Die I Want To . . ."

Good Morning!

1.  Independent Reading -- Remember that one of your books this semester must be from the recommended list. I have decided to make the final book review this semester an oral review.  We will take time before and during the final schedule to complete this.

2. "Before I Die I Want To . . ." -- Yesterday we watched a TED Talk by Candy Chang on the topic of being mindful of what matters most to us.  You noted three places that caught your attention in the text of this speech and reflected on those parts (I should see something written on your copy of the speech).  I passed out a small slip of paper for you to record two things that you want to do before you die. We will share those responses today. 

3.  Pre-reading:  Before we begin the next text, I would like us to reflect on our ideas about education.  Quickwrite:  Write about how you value education.  Write about how you value the experience of attending school.
