Blackhawk+Week+4

//A break from journaling and silent reading today. We will// //push to finish our work.//
 * //29 September//**

//I will read chapter 7. The rest of the time can be spent getting the rough copy of your friendly letter done.// //If / when this gets finished, we can read chapter 8. This will meet our goal and we can have a relaxed class tomorrow.//


 * //28 September//**

//Silent reading//

//Homework check -- sheet done and pre-writing complete.//

//Hand out the Friendly letter sheet and assignment sheet.//

//I demo my rough work. Theirs should be equally detailed. The more you can add to this, the better.//

//Write introduction together.//

//The friendly letter is typically less formal than that of a business letter. Usually the first paragraph of the body will consist of an introduction which will give the recipient an idea about you're writing to them with a short summary of the main topic of your letter. If you don't know the person you are writing to, you may want to introduce yourself in this introductory paragraph as well.//

//Dear Chad...//

//I write this with them.//

//Reading to the end of chapter 7. Please fill in dual entry log.// //Complete questions for reflection. What are your goals? What plans will you make to accomplish them?// //Rough draft / ideas for tomorrow.//

//Silent reading//

//Discuss the idea of choices://

//* What are some of the choices that Alfred has made in his life? Which were good? Which were not so good? How would his life have been different had he made a different choice?//

//* What are some of the important decisions YOU have made in your life? Think about this. There are probably many more than you remember right away. Decisions about school? Girlfriend or boyfriend? A party that you should or should not have gone to? A trip you took or didn't take? Any one of these decisions may have taken your life in a completely different direction.//

//* What are some of the decisions you WILL need to make in the next year? 5 years?//

//* What do you predict for yourself in 5 years? What are your dreams?//

//* What do you need to put into place for that dream to become a GOAL? What changes (if any) do you think you will need to make to your life? Will these be easy or difficult changes to make?//

//* Who do you have that will help you achieve this goal?//

//YOUR ASSIGNMENT//
