Today’s Learning Objective Today we will reflect on our classes and come up with a strategy to be successful. Our Agenda: Quick Write Reflective Exercise Closure

Quick Write: On a sheet of paper, respond to the statement below. Reflect on your first week as a Dual Student at CRCA and ACC. Describe any feelings or concerns you are experiencing as you are learning to juggle all of your classes and new professors. You have 10 minutes to write and reflect on this statement. Share your response with a partner.

Divide and Conquer Strategy: During the Quick Write, you reflected on your first week as a dual student. Does it feel a little overwhelming or stressful? I bet it does! All you have to do is DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

Divide and Conquer Strategy: Step One: Look through all of your assignments (missing and upcoming) Step Two: Prioritize. Pick the assignments that have the biggest bang for your buck! (Assignments worth a major grade) Remember do not neglect your upcoming assignments! Step Three: Make a list of your assignments in the order they need to be completed. Step Four: Complete each assignment. One at a time. STEP FIVE: TURN YOUR ASSIGNMENTS INTO YOUR TEACHER! This is very important.

Closure How can this strategy help you feel less stressed and overwhelmed as the semester progresses? *If you need a day planner to keep up with your assignments, please speak with Mr. Gordon
