What do you value?

"How would you define your values?

Before you answer this question, you need to know what, in general, values are.

Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. They (should) determine your priorities, and, deep down, they're probably the measures you use to tell if your life is turning out the way you want it to.

When the things that you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually good – you're satisfied and content. But when these don't align with your values, that's when things feel... wrong. This can be a real source of unhappiness.

This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important."

Due: Next class:

•  Identify 5-10 values you hold dear (education, family harmony, health, etc.) 
• Provide examples of how you act out these values in your day to day life. ex. "I value family so I make sure we eat together each night so we can stay connected."

Continue to practice metacognition. Notice when you are in an evaluative, descriptive, or appreciative mode. What is it like to be in each? How do your thoughts effect your experiences moment to moment?

Consider your OWN sense of what you think you can't do. Then watch:

Metacognition

This week we have been doing activities that invite us to employ different skills. Throughout we have been thinking about our thinking and our feelings during each task.

 Continue to interrogate how you function:

•  How do you approach tasks, challenges?
• What comes easy? What is more difficult? 
• What gives you joy? 

Doing this kind of metacognitive work is a good first step toward prepping for your future studies and work life.

E and F blocks did a series of metacognition exercises today outside!

B and C blocks will do the Meta-Cognition work outside tomorrow- dress for action.

No homework

Welcome to Planning 10!

This blog is where you will find: 

• Important dates ex. assignment deadlines, quiz, test, presentation dates
• links that relate to this course
• Some past hand outs for you to print off if you were absent when they were distributed in class
• Ms. S' musings and quotes/clips that I would like to share with you such as the one below:

Please hear in this quote gender inclusive language. Hear also "She and "Her", and "WE" throughout as we consider "master[y] in the art of living."

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
