I Think, Therefore I Can (M.S.)
| Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL your ways, acknowledge HIM, and HE will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6 |
I Think, Therefore I Can Cheryl Jaggers
How do you eat an elephant? We will learn how to tackle big projects and make
them creative, fun and manageable through a wide variety of problem solving and
decision making tips, tools and techniques. Students will develop skills that are
useful throughout all levels of school, as well as real-life. Students can use these
techniques and tools to : take better notes in class; review, recall and study for
tests; gather and organize information when researching assignments; generate
ideas and clarify thoughts when writing essays and assignments of all types:
simplify complex concepts, tasks, and assignments; determine possible alternatives
to projects or assignments; prioritize and set their own deadlines for time
management and assignment completion.
We will learn to apply these and other problem solving techniques to group and
team projects. Role playing, group and team activties, creative problem solving
games and plenty of "hands on" will help us USE what we learn to our homework
assignments from other classes. But, before we get started, we will get organized!
We will address each individual's binder, homework area, assignments, time
management and approach to studying - no more 'the dog ate my homework'
excuses!
