Agenda: Week of 2/21/2011

Quote of the Day:  "Normal is just a setting on your dryer." - Patsy Clairmont

Monday:

1.  Goal of the Week - Students will write their goal for the week and also write a paragraph about last week's goal and if they were able to accomplish it.  (Goals should be meaningful, measurable and attainable)

2.  Inspiration: 

Mr. Duez is going to share a video about a young lady who lives just miles from where he grew up in PA.  She has been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while in high school.  Her story is inspirational because even though she is challenged by her disease, she continues to live her life to the fullest.  She now attends Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

3.  Students will read this article: 

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/09/us/09immigration.html?_r=2&ref=education

And debate the topic of Illegal Immigration and the students who attain a high school and college degree, but without a social security number can not find meaningful work.  Should the Dream Act become law?
