 "Why I Hate School but Love Education"
React to the above poem:
  • What stood out to you that resonated with you or that you hated?
  • To what extent is Animas doing things differently than "everywhere else" in America? (To what extent is Animas providing not  just a "schooling" experience but an "educational" experience?)
  • Are you motivated at Animas? Why or why not? In what ways? etc....

Agenda
1. Watch and discuss this RSA Animate called "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us"  
  • What is the thesis of this video/podcast/presentation?
  • How might this affect the choices you make about your future (LINK placement? Career paths? Colleges?)


2. Experiment time!!  Let's test the theory out!  You can have the next 1/2 hour to do whatever you want as long as it adds POSITIVELY to the classroom culture/learning environment in some way. At the end of the time, you'll need to be able to defend how what you chose to spend your time on enhanced our class culture.

3. Reflect on our "Free time" experiment

4. Lit Circle meeting #2

5. Complete the self-evaluation on your lit circle contributions

6. Time to read
