Aim: How do we create habits? Quick Write: Write about a habit you would like to create for yourself. Quickly. (Again, make this a habit.)
Today we will analyze how to create habits. Good ones of course. You will have to conduct your own experiments and critically think about it, but here are a video and an article to get your started.
Step 1: Watch the video below. If you are on campus, you will see a blank space, but if you are off campus, it should appear. (Apologies in advance to the females among us, including myself, for the focus on "manliness." Seems like habits are gender-neutral, don't you think?)
Step 2: Read this article for further detail on "Unlocking the Science of Habits." Note: some information on creating habits is toward the end of the article.
Step 3: Based on what you have learned, make an action plan for creating the habit you identified in your quick write. Post it on your blog. Say it out loud. Then, follow it.
Reminder: Guest teaching has ended! However, all students regardless of whether they actually taught a class or not are responsible for turning in a completed lesson plan based on their assigned readings. In addition, post your lesson on your blog. You will get partial credit for this. Who knows? If it's really good maybe you'll get a chance to actually teach it.
Independent reading projects are due. You should get started on this because there will be at least one other final challenge (project) for this course in addition to that. The assignment is TBA.
What's Due
- Completed lesson plan on assigned reading regardless of whether you taught the class or not. (Completed lesson plan template plus blog post of the lesson.)
- Developed and completed mind maps
- Independent reading projects
- Art & Cultural Exhibition blog post
- Cartoons
- Argument essays (or critical lens for those taking the ELA Regents)
- Daily Blog Postings
