Life Law One Reflections

Kudos to all students for preparing for and participating in a new process of discussing text--the 3 A's Protocol, where students are asked to read a text (Chapter 1 "You Either Get It Or You Don't" from Life Strategies for Teens by Jay McGraw); identify statements they agree with, argue with, and aspire to; and support their opinions by answering the BIG question WHY. I was super impressed with student input and professionalism during the process. Although a stiff process at first--attributed first run-through jitters and start-and-stop clarifications--students clearly discovered something new about themselves as people and life learners as well as new insight into our class as a learning community. Student feedback about processes and text these past few days has been invaluable in shaping our week-ending discussions and next week's work. I look forward to seeing how students respond and connect to Life Law #2.

Students keep up the GREAT work!

Parents ask your students about this text/these readings and our discussions!
