Good
morning,
I hope the Easter Bunny was good
to you all. Here are some notes for the week of April 14th.
To start, keep up on your daily
grammar. Write the examples in your binder and keep a record, just like we did
in class.
For this week, I would like you to
write three written responses. I will post three TED talks for you to watch.
Respond to each of them by making a connection to yourself. Write down anything
that comes to mind. Each response should be two full paragraphs. Feel free to
write more, but be sure to make connections to yourself.
The first is by Amy Purdy: Living
Beyond Limits. In this TED talk, Amy asks us an important question:
If life were a book, and you were
the author, how would you want your story to go? Grab a box of tissues, and
take notes. Remember, write whatever comes to mind, but be sure to make some
connections.
