Journal Question #10

 

As I write this, a blizzard howls outside, and the snow is coming down heavy and fast.  What's you opinion of snow?  Do you look forward to skiing in, sledding on, or walking through it?  Do you think it's beautiful?  Or do you wish it would just go away?  Explain your preference, either way.

Journal Question #9

It's hard to pay attention. There is so much to distract a student: digital devices, classmates, intercom announcements, bells, the stream of thoughts running through one's head... Of course, if you want to learn a subject, you have to pay attention to it.   Here's the question: How do you pay attention when all these distractions are around you?  Do you have any strategies or tips to share with your classmates?  

Journal Question #8

One of TA's pillars is Responsibility.  You can think of responsibility as both personal and social: you have a responsibility to yourself, your family, your friends, your colleagues at work or school; you also have a wider responsibility to your society, your country, your planet.  How do you define responsibilty? What does it mean to act responsibly?
