Navigating the Waters Questions
1. Journal
What has been your biggest success in life so far? Tell me about it.
2. Finish Navigating the Waters Questions
- Yesterday we started answering the four questions in Google Classroom called "Navigating the Waters: A Personal Prologue"
- Our goal is to finish them today.
- You may work with others, but the work you submit must be your own.
3. Compare and Contrast
- I'm giving you each a Venn Diagram (pictured above) to compare Burke's text, "A Personal Prologue" with Saenz' TED Talk, "The Power of a Teacher."
- Look out especially for:
- How they were as students
- What were some of the characteristics of teachers who changed their lives?
- Where are they now?
- Why do they do what they do?
4. Writing our First Précis
I am going to walk you through the steps of a rhetorical precis and we're going to write one together. You will have an in class "test" on this when we read our next text.
5. Exit Slips

5. Exit Slips
- I'm going to pass out a post it note to each person.
- I'm asking you to write one question you have about the text we read and place it on the stop sign bulletin board:
- Green means you really understand the text
- Yellow means you mostly understand the text but still have some questions
- Red means you have lots of questions about the text
