Activities for week three 2/13 - 2/16 - 2012

What you start, finish. There are two kinds of people in the world: those who do and those who might. Responsible people follow through. If they make a commitment, they see it through. They finish. And that is how others evaluate them. Are they dependable or not? Can I rely on them? Writer Ben Ames Williams observed, "Life is the acceptance of responsibilities or their evasion; it is a business of meeting obligations or avoiding them. To every man the choice is continually being offered, and by the manner of his choosing you may fairly measure him." As we move into the second semester how are you measuring up in responsibility? This week you have three opportunities for extra credit points to raise your grade. First, you may type an explanation of Williams's quote and also tell me how you would measure yourself (MLA format) (? points) (due by Tuesady). Second this weekend you and your parents can read and discuss "Test Tips". (Have your parents write me a note that you worked on it together and tell me was it worthwhile - 30 points) Also did you get a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird? (50 points)
