Homecoming week
We're writing poetry on Friday for homecoming.
Be collecting sensory images until then--you need five.
Look at things in new ways--What does school spirit taste like? What is the smell of Crimson and Gold.
Yes, I know it's cheesey--but it's homecoming--let's have some fun.
Metaphors?
Personification?
Analogies?
Let play with poetry!

Covey Evaluation
Some students were wondering what the evaluation should look like for Friday. Here's where to start.
Use what you know from the Covey material to evaluate your presentation:
Strengths,
Holes,
What to do for next time to fill the holes.
After your evaluation--one sentence that indicates what you think would be the most significant change that would occur if the US government went "Win/Win" and why it would be significant. Remember this sentence should be based on the discussion in class.
