Agenda:

Write a Precis
1. Journal
How do you overcome things that are challenging in life?
2. Video Interview
- We'll start today by getting a little bit of background on Paul Tough, the author of our current text.
- As we watch, compare him to the other two authors we've read in class. Do you agree with what he's saying? Do you like or dislike the way he thinks?
- Here he's answering the question, "Is a college education as valuable as it once was to students?"
3. Finish Reading
- Yesterday we began reading but today we're going to work on finishing it.
- We will read a little bit together, then you will read the rest with your tables.
4. Navigating the Waters Questions
- There are questions in Google Classroom called "Navigating the Waters: How to Succeed"
- You can work on these alone or with your table group.
- PLEASE NOTICE that #1, 2, and 4 all ask you two questions. That means you should have two different sentences for those answers, answering the whole thing.
5. Write a Précis
- We've been practicing with writing a 4 sentence precis.
- Your job is to write one about Paul Tough's piece, "How to Succeed."
- You can write it in your journal or type it and share it with me.
Reminders:
Don't forget - you can still buy your prom tickets until tomorrow. I really hope to see you!
