Goooooood morning!

Before you begin working today, take 10 minutes to be sure that you are following ALL of your classmates’ blogs and mine. Look around the classroom to see whose blog you are missing.

Now that you are all set—read through ALL of today’s lab plan so that you can manage your time carefully.

As we continue to look at success and think about what it means, I invite you to watch the following video:

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/richard_st_john_success_is_a_continuous_journey.html

After watching, think about how it relates to the classroom—either from the student’s or teacher’s point of view, then share your idea(s) in a brief (100-word) blog post.

In making the connection between Richard’s message and the classroom, consider these questions:

What are some problems teachers/students come up against? (Think about your classes or
the classes you are observing during your work experience?)

What does Richard St. John put success down to?

Try to have your post published by 9:15

After you do your post, read at least 3-4 classmates’ blogs. Find one classmate who shares your idea(s), and together prepare a video on the same topic. In other words, imagine that YOU are the TED experts talking on success in the classroom. Your video does not need to be more than 3 minutes. Be sure you both talk. Be sure you have at least one clear main point and can adequately illustrate it through examples.

Videos need to be uploaded by next Friday, Aug. 28.

Oh, and because you're wondering: That charming cat is Malik. He's from Limache. Say hi.
