BIG QUESTIONS to think about while I teach and explain

1.    Which criteria seem most important to you? Which ones resonate with you? Which ones stand out to you as being relevant to your life?

 

resonate- vibrate, shake, has deep meaning

relevant- related, connected to

 

2.    Which of the criteria do you feel you already do well? Which ones are already your strengths. Which one are you already good at?

 

3.    Which of the criteria do you feel you have/want to improve upon? Which ones reveal some weakness that could strenghtened? Which ones do feel would  be worthwhile working on?

 

 

Let’s go over these- read them, talk about vocab, meaning

 

ambiguous- unclear, not black or white

 

 

Tomorrow:

Small group (4-5 people) discussion, chatting.
