LIFE SKILLS

* Responsibility:
      These are contained in the handout

* Consequences of Actions:
      There are rewards or sanctions for what we do, we
      must learn to accept these and we must learn to
      do what is expected of us.
  

* Unintended consequences:
      In some cases we must think of some consequences
      that we have not planned on, our actions can
      impact others or impact conduct of others toward
      us, we must accept even these unintended
      consequences even if they have a negative impact
      on us.

* Time-Management skills:
      We must learn to juggle several responsibilities,
      jobs, school, work, parent request, friend’s
      desires.  In some case we must learn to
      prioritize, decide which is better for us not now
       but to our future.

* Thinking Skills:
             a)Recall- repeat what we read or learned.
               Who were the philosophes?
             b)Processing- manipulate the information.
               Put information in order, explain why it
               happened.
             c)Application- Add your own meaning.  What
               do you think  of the Tennis Court Oath?

    
    * Listening Skills:
      This seems to be a lost art, I think it is
      important in the learning process to hear
      information.  This will be facilitated by teacher
      talk.  “God gave us two ears but one mouth, so we
      should listen twice as much as we talk."
      

    * Cooperation

* Importance of an educated and active citizenry

* Creativity

* The students are required to keep a daily notebook that would include the following:  

    * class notes from lectures, power point presentations, overheads
                or exercises student activities;

    * notes given in class that  set up or supplemented  cooperative      
               learning  assignments;  
    
    * notes that were taken during their cooperative learning periods;

    *  exercises used to review the students effort   (examples of these  
           exercises would be  concept webs, charts , writing facts to  support
           generalizations and explaining the effect or cause of events or actions.)

    The grade will depend on the completeness  and quality of the work as well as the
following of the criteria that was distributed to the students in the student responsibility
handouts at the beginning of the year.

Grading

A+  all work was completed in a superior fashion and all criteria
       was  followed.

A   all work completed and all criteria was followed.

B   all work completed.

C   A more conscientious effort is needed.

D   poor effort, work missing or incomplete.

F   not handed in, late and poorly done, not completed.
