Thursday

Grad Project! Grad Project! Grad Project!

So far you should all have:
1. A time line of your time at TBS with at least 5 facts for each year.
2. A 10 best and 10 worst list.
3. 3 challenges you've faced at school, the details of the event why it was a challenge and what affect it had on you (change, growth, overcoming etc)

Today we added activity number 4. You were to come up with at least 5 metaphors that represent your time at TBS. People shared out all kinds of metaphors--pregnant lady, marriage, bathroom, pair of jeans, plane ride, knife fight, rafting trip, flower--they were fun. Then you each had to choose ONE metaphor to extend. You were to explain that metaphor thoroughly, comparing details of your experience at TBS with details of that metaphor. Many of you aren't able to finish these activities in class. If that is the case, you are responsible for finishing the activity at home. We will be working on grad projects again on Tuesday.

I also reminded you all of your missing work--Lit circle packets and philosophy packets are overdue. Get those to me asap. Especially if you want to be a part of Physics Day.

I'm a glass of milk straight from the fridge--good for you, but COLD!
