INTRO to OP-ED: a free write

Think of something you tried to persuade a parent, teacher, or friend to do or believe and explain. What kinds of arguments did you use? Did you use logic? Did you use evidence to support your request? Did you try to present your own character in a way that would make your case more believable? Did you try to engage the emotions of your audience? Why did you choose to argue the way you did? (75 words)

HABIT 2 personal reflection

The intro to Habit 2 asks you to imagine your own funeral in three years, and there are going to be four speakers. For the sake of this exercise, let's give you five years, and let's cut it down to to three speakers from three different areas of your life, which could be family, friends, significant other, coworkers, bosses, professors, teammates, etc.

In five years of personal growth, what would you like each of these speakers to say about you and your life? Whatever "role" they know you in, what would they see in you in that role? What character would you like them to have seen in you? What contributions or achievements would you want them to remember? What difference would you like to have made in their lives?

Your writing should identify each of the three persons and answers these questions for each, include concrete instances you would hope to have lived out in each of their lives. Shoot for around 50 words for each person. The goal is to really think through who you want to be and how you would like to be known.

"What's Next?" material overview

We've read two articles and watched three Ted Talks meant to broaden your thinking about how you will communicate a more developed view of yourself to the community you will be joining after you graduate. Today, you will be determining the most valuable ideas from the material and what will be useful for you moving forward.

writing 1 (40-50):
What concepts were the most thought-provoking? What concepts are the most helpful when it comes to thinking through evaluating yourself/ your passions and interests? Which ideas changed your thinking about something?

writing 2 (40-50):
What concepts or ideas did you find to be the least applicable? What ideas are of no use to you? Justify and explain why you don't need or find these ideas useful.

writing 3 (40-50):
Explain one or two aspects of your life that are important to your next steps that go beyond what's "on paper" that tie into the ideas presented in the materials we've covered. What insights have you gained to thoughts about career or school? What moments in your life best represent who you are or want to be?
