I must admit I'm pretty bummed we have not had a REAL snow so far this winter, and it's not looking very promising. I'm sad our sled is not going to be zipping down the hill of our yard while a Boyd kid is heading for a frozen creek! Oh well, maybe next year! The good news is no one has had to work on research during a snow day; instead, we've had plenty of school days to stay on track (I'm trying to make the most of things here!). So, you wonderful students in English III are wrapping up your papers while you lovely Dual Enrollment students are about to dive right in. I know this is not anyone's favorite assignment of the year--it's not mine either. Remember, my job is to help you prepare for college, so I MUST teach this concept. If I were like Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, I'd just wave my wand and put the knowledge into your head without the pain of the actual process of doing the research and writing the paper. Alas, "I'm not a princess, and this ain't a fairy tale!"
I know you are actually looking for an extra credit opportunity. Soooo...Let's talk about procrastination and our superb ability to waste time! Tell me what you do when you're supposed to be doing your school work--what gets you distracted? Right now, I'm listening to Adele radio on Pandora and working on this blog while I'm taking a break from grading papers. Type a good response of 3-4 sentences (show me you haven't forgotten how to write) that explains what distracts you and causes you to procrastinate. All comments MUST be posted by Saturday, Feb. 25, at 5:00 p.m. in order to receive credit. Ready...set...procrastinate! Just kidding--procrastination will not be a good idea right now!
