Take a stand…in the Flint Journal
Sunday, April 1st, 2007We just finished writing Take a Stand persuasive writing pieces. Now let’s see if anyone will believe what we wrote! We’re going to turn our Take a Stand writing pieces into letters to the editor of the Flint Journal, and see if one gets published.
Here’s what to do:
- Start typing your Take a Stand piece using one of these ways:
- Use Google Documents, which is a part of your MrHowd.com gmail account (If you have it typed already, you can just upload it to Google Documents, or copy and paste it!)
- Put it on your wiki
- Send yourself an email with your Gmail account
- Use Microsoft Word
- When you have it typed and edited, do one of these things:
- send it in an email to this address: [email protected]
- Make sure to include (don’t worry, these are kept private by the Flint Journal)
- First name, middle initial, last name
- Mailing address
- Telephone number
- Copy and paste into into the form on this page and fill out all the information.
We’ll work on this at school, but you can get the typing started at home. Try Google Documents. You can work on it at school and home. Your wiki would be a good second choice. Try to avoid Word, unless you upload to Google Documents; otherwise, your work will be trapped at home when you need to use it at school!
Happy convincing!
What do you wish was taught in school?
Saturday, March 31st, 2007Here’s a good wish list for what should be taught in school. Time management was featured, and I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. Do those planners we give kids work? I’m not sure. For some, I suppose. But some just jump through the hoop, and fail to use it to plan their homework. Maybe we should be doing more with time management…
#5: Time Management
Speaking of other skills that can be utilized in any job and career is time management. The majority of students never really learn to value their time and mange it while in school. Procrastination is all too rampant (studying right before class, doing homework and essays the day it’s due, partying the night before the exam). This lack of time management often carries over into adulthood, which becomes a major liability.
Learn to make a to do list. Learn to prioritize. Learn to break things down into 30 minute blocks of time. Learn about actionable items. David Allen’s GTD system is your best friend here… Again if you’re unfamiliar with these people, Google is your best friend, but I’m sure the majority of readers will know what I’m talking about.
What’s on your wish-list of things that schools should be teaching kids? Share your ideas in the comments.
