Dream Job

Describe your dream job. A few things you will want to mention are:

- what will your "duties" be

- how much will you make?

Teacher's Choice Week of January 18 - Olympics and Getting out of School

Greetings LEAPers,

You have two options for your teacher's choice blog this week.

Option #1 - Should teenagers be forced to stay in school?

In 2005, the Ontario government passed a bill that forces students to stay in school until 18. The government hopes that it will increase the number of students who graduate high school. Previously, students only had to stay in school until 16. What do you think?

Option #2 - The Winter Olympics

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics are slated to start on February 12. An organization called Own the Podium has set a goal that Canada will finish first in the medal count. http://www.ownthepodium2010.com/About/

A few questions you could answer in your blog entry are:

- Are you excited about the olympics?

- What is your favourite olympic sport?

- Do you think the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team will win?

- Do you think Canada will finish first in the medal count?

Teacher's Choice Week of January 10 - SMART Goals

This week your teacher's choice blog should be about setting goals for the new year. You should have at least 2 academic goals and for each goal, and explanation for how you are going to reach it.

Remember to make them SMART goals

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = AttainableR = Realistic

T = Timely

Here's an example of what you could write.

I am currently getting a 65% in English. My goal is to raise that mark to 70% by the end of January. One of the reasons my mark is low is because I have not done all my blogs. To reach my goal, I will make sure I do all of my blogs for the next month.

Mr. Cates mentioned that I would do better in Outdoor Education if attended class more often. My goal for the next month is to only miss 3 days of school. I will keep track of this on a recipe card so I know how I am doing.
