Literacy - Please complete your Spoken Word that you started today in class.  The options are below.  You should have a minimum of 200 words.  You can use the "Push Your Thinking Prompts" to help you add more detail.  The focus of this task is to add LOTS OF DETAIL, and be VERY SPECIFIC.  Please remember the example I gave of my very ordinary black shirt.  (Due Monday)
1 The Pause Button: Imagine that every single person in the world must stop, pause and completely listen to you for three minutes. They will act, think and change based on what you say when you are talking.
2. If You Knew Me: Write about what people think they know about you. Then, write about  but if you really knew me, you’d know that …
3. Love Letters To Your Own Reflection: You are going to write a love letter to yourself. Imagine that it is written by a person who just can’t stop staring at you because they love you so much.
4. Twenty Four Hours To Live: This is NOT about what you would do in your last day of life. Rather, it is a reflective piece where you think about your life  and what you would do differently if you could live your life differently.
5. Describe an emotion or state of being as an actual thing: Describe in detail what it would look like, how does it make people feel. 



Daily Questions page - This is due on Thursday.  Also due is the reflection questions at the bottom of the page.  (Due Thursday)

Stress Essays Signed - Please have the rubrics for your stress essay signed and returned for tomorrow.  (Due - late)


WOW presentation - You will present your entire WOW presentation to the class on Thursday

Passion Project - This is a reminder that you should be signing out books from the Aurora Library on your passion project.  If you have books of your own from home, you can also use these.  You should always have a text available to you to read on your passion project topic.  I would like students to begin reading their passion project books during silent reading time. (Due)

Passion Project - Please make sure you are working on this at home.  I recommend doing a little bit every night.  On March 9th, you will need to hand in the following....
1.  All of your learning, insights, thoughts, questions.
2.  You will need to explain why you have decided to track your learning the way you have.
3.  Text 1 x Text 2 = deeper knowledge, discoveries, questions, insights.... you will need to provide examples of where you have done this in your research. (Due March 9th)




Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.

1.  Adding to your bank account
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
4.  School improves your passions
5.  The way school improves your passions
6.  Are you committed to your success?  Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!

Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
