When will you know you have achieved full success? Is it even possible? Explain.

2. Finish Reading 

• Yesterday we left off at the heading "Dropping Out" 
• Today we are going to read the last portion of the text together.

3. Navigating the Waters Questions 

• There are questions in Google Classroom called "Navigating the Waters: How to Succeed" that you started yesterday (we answered #1-3 together) 
• Today you will answer #4 on your own.
• Please realize that #4 is another multiple question in one, so you should have more than one sentence as your answer.

4. 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.

Don't forget - you can still buy your prom tickets today. I really hope to see you there!
