INDEPENDENT PRACTICE (ON NEOS):
Make Connections:
1. Tell us something that happened as a direct result of your actions this year. How did you cause it to happen? Was the effect positive or negative and was it the effect you wanted?
2. What is the motivation behind attempting something like scaling Mt. Everest or any other kind of dangerous stunt or feat? Why RISK IT? What is the biggest risk you ever took? Did it turn out the way you expected? WAS IT WORTH IT?
3. Write down 10 facts you’ve learned on pages 350-351. Pair with another student to compare and add any facts you may not already have. SPELL CHECK!
EXIT PASS: In the passage we will begin tomorrow, a leader goes against his own rules and makes a decision that results in devastation. When, if ever, is it OK to go against the rules?
