Goal: Finish your writing about high school and watch a TED TalkAgenda:
Journal

TED Talk
Powerschool Check
Check Out a Book
1. Journal
What's one piece of advice you would give a middle schooler about going to high school?
2. Writing
- Today is yours to finish writing.
- Remember, your letter is to a specific audience. Do not lose sight of that.
- Use your thesis planning document from yesterday to help you write.
- Your final version should be typed and submitted to Google Classroom using the MLA formatted template I provided.
Remember, the question you are answering is:
How does experiencing failure actually help the journey toward success?
3. TED Talk - Put on headphones and watch this TED Talk.
- Write a 4 sentence précis in your journal titled "Precis: Failure is a Part of Success" under today's journal entry

4. Powerschool Check-Up
Check Powerschool and make up an assignment that you didn't do so well on. You can always request a regrade on any assignment that was done on paper or submitted online (just not verbal assignments like discussions).
5. Check out a Book
- Check out a book from the classroom library and read if you are finished with all of your work and have extra time.
- However, I'd encourage you to go back and make sure all of your assignments are in a good place.
Be prepared to engage in a peer review of your writing tomorrow.
