                   ways to be successful

1.  if you want to be pass your finals you have to study and be confident that you can pass it. studying is important because if you do not study you are not going to know it completely you may know half of it but not all of it.  confident is also important because it is not good to think negative because then you  are not going to be motivated and you are thinking that you are going to fail because is to hard. think positive because you can do it all you need to do is study.

6. ''to educate a man in mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society" (Theodore Roosevelt)

missing work form a

• write down missing work on from a
• teacher will sign form when missing assignment is turned in
• due tuesday nov 12th

the working notebook is the daily notebook taken to class. it hold all the papers and information needed each day. any three ring binder can serve as a working notebook the nylon zippered type tends to last longer. your working notebook should contain:

• a portable three hole punch
• a zippered pouch with three holes to hold highlighters, pencils, pens, clips, ''sticky notes'' and other small supplies
• a monthly calendar
• a ruler
• section dividers for each subject labeled homework, notes, handouts and quizzes/test
• an assignment book

these items are available at most office supply stores in a three hole punched format so they can be easily inserted into the notebook. this is important because if the items are not attached to the notebook, they will get lost in backpacks or left at home or school.

one working notebook for all of your child's classes might be too large for some students especially if they are in high school. two medium size notebooks with two or three subjects in each is an alternative to one large notebook. morning classes might be placed in one and afternoon classes might be placed in another.

whichever alternative note about that you choose the important thing is that on daily basis you should date three hole punch and file any his school papers under the appropriate divider for each subject. you should also note assignments in details in his assignment books.

hpiam advisory project
next tuesday november 5 bring all your work from all classes in order to show the organization required from each class. you will have time in advisory to hole punch and organize your binders, folders, notebooks etc. so you need to come prepared.

                                          prompt 4
thanks to the internet people have more access to more information that at any other time in history. people can instantly find information on almost any topic in the time it takes to type of a couple of words and a click of a mouse. but we often know so little about the source of this information including its reliability and the qualifications of the person who wrote it. if we don't know its source, information is not much good to us.

assignment

1.Do people need to know the source of any information before they use it? yes because the topic that they look for could be inappropriate and they might not feel comfortable with it. so is important to check in the information they need to know what they are going to see.

2.  plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading studies experience or observations.

i think that it is kind of a risk taking problem because you never know what could happen you could get a virus. for example if you enter a page some advertisement could pop out and it could be a trick. Many things can happen  you have to be careful on what you click on because many people want to scam you and want your money.

many colleges now offer courses in which students study television programs, comic books, magazines, advertising and other aspects of popular culture. critics complain that school should not replace serious literature and history causes with such fluff. they claim that courses in popular culture present material that is trivial and inconsequential. but the study of popular culture can be just  as important demanding and instructive the study of traditional subjects.


assignment: 
can the study of popular culture be as valuable as the study of traditional literary and historical subjects?

yes because it could help the students in their social life and it would maybe make there life more easier. Also they need to know what was going on. And history was a important subject and it still is because in the past a lot of things happened. People need to know what was going on and why everything all started. In literature is also important to because it could help them in their writing when they read stories and when they read it helps them improve in their writing because they say that reading makes you smarter. so everything is important because it all helps you in your future.

Student success statement

‘’stop worrying about whether your going to win or lose and focus your full attention on what’s happening right this moment.’’

I think that’s this means to focus on things that you’re doing right now. Because if you worry about the future then you shouldn't because it is not happening yet and your supposed to focus on things that are happening right now. the important thing that matters is now because the future will happen when it is time.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Jackson

Student success statement

‘’truth is the only safe ground to stand upon’’

I think that this means when you’re touching the floor it is the safest place to be. Like if you’re in midair it it’s dangerous for example if you’re skydiving you could not be safe because you could die.so it is always safer to be in the ground than to be in the air do dangerous things because you never no what could happen.

Attention to detail 7 of 10

When you double check your calculations for a math problem or cite sources carefully in a research paper, you’re paying close attention to detail. That skill come in handy in any work place, wither you maintain a database, keep a log of the hours you spend with clients or write emails. John wooden, uncle’s former great basketball coach who led his teams to ten consecutive national championships, was asked what he attributed his success to. Among a number of things he mentioned that paying attention to details was one of the most important qualities for successful coaching and for high achievement in any worthwhile pursuit. He even paid attention to how his players would lace up and tie there shoe strings. If they didn’t tie them correctly he would teach them how. Details may be small things but from small things therefore pay attention to details and you will experience substantial progress in your overall educational attainment.

‘’everyone is the architect of their own learning’’

I think that this means that everyone has their own responsibility. They can’t blame anyone else for it the blame is on them. Because everyone has a thing to do you cannot blame anyone if they didn't bring what you asked for. for example if you work on a project and you have to pick a partner then you have to pick wisely because if you don't then the person you pick could play around and not do the work at all.

Student success statement

‘’start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.’’

I think that this means that do something that is right first because it is more important than doing something that is acceptable. Because if you do something that is right you can only do it once but if you do what is acceptable you can do it any other time. So it is more important to start off with what is important. For example if you want to do something is either now or never but if it is something acceptable you can do it any other time you have lots of time.

Imitative 5 of 10

Initiative is creativity inventiveness, originality, ingenuity, imagination. Every time you respond in class every time you choose your own research topic, every time you put together your own interpretation of a piece of literature, you take initiative. And future employer’s value can do professionals who come up with new ideas and chart their own course through projects employees who are self-reliant. Self-reliant people are self-starters who don’t procrastinate on getting the job done. They know what is required to do me t and do it. They don’t wait to be told many times succeeding in high school, college, and ion the career world is taking the initiative.

Student success statement

‘’to be great—concentrate.’’

I think that this means in order to be great you don’t have to do any bad things in your future or in your past. Because you need to have your mind focusing on good things and not bad things. but if you do something bad then your going to have trouble because you going to think about what you did wrong.

Problem-solving skills 4 of 10

Problem solving goes far beyond your math textbook. Ever assignment is an opportunity to weigh all possible solutions carefully and choose the one you think is the best. As a working professional. You’ll be solving problems regularly, wither its fixing a bug in a computer program or overcoming budget shortfalls. Problems loving situations occur extensively and frequently; therefore by ready when then come. When problem or challenges occur some people look at them negative experiences. As a crisis. These people are the ones who live day by day with gloom and negativism in their attitudes. But the really successful people, those who are cheerful and optimistic are those who look at problems as opportunities, opportunities to learn, grow, expand their horizons and make new discoveries. They look on the bright side of things and live happy lives.

‘’education is a marathon—not a sprint’’

I think that this means that education you have to be patient and not rush through things because if you rush through things then it will be harder for you because you have to take thins slow and not fast. You don’t have to rush things because you still have a lot to do when you’re done with your education you have to relax and not rush in things.

Team work skills 3 of 10

Every time your class breaks into groups to tackle a challenge, you build teamwork skills. In college you’ll continue to have these opportunities to practice voicing your opinions listening and responding to others and reaching compromises. By the time you leave college you can be an expert in this important workplace skill.

Together

Everyone

Achieves

More

Individually you can achieve so much but when you work with others for a common cause the same objectives you can accomplish a tremendous amount more. You synergize your talents knowledge and skills with those whom you work. All members of the team are edified together type of edification you can’t obtain by working alone.

‘’ the man who has no imagination has no wings’’

I think that this means that if you don’t have an imagination then you don’t have any gals. Because in order to have in an imagination you think about your future and things that you are going to do in the future so you need to have a future so you could imagine.

Speaking skills 2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as in unimportant part of your education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques

http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/17334/

According to the book of list the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of crowd. Joel wiener noted the author and public speaker wants to help people overcome fear.

‘’the biggest fear is public speaking with 15 percent of American expercing a dramatic fear of it,’’ said dr.michael telch of the laboratory for the study of anxiety disorders (lsad) in the department of psychology at the university of Texas at Austin. People have to turn down jobs and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.’’

Regardless of your occupation your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Weather your running a meeting, selling a product making a presentation. Motivation co-workers or just communication one on one with other you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively smoothly and intelligently.

‘’nothing in the world could take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on ‘has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.’’

I think this means that nothing can stop us from achieving what we want. If someone wants do to something then no one can stop us it is up to us to keep on doing and achieving our dream. No matter who you are you will achieve it if you don’t give up.

Writing skills 1 of 10

Communication is at the top of the list of skills that employers look for. And communication in the work place often means writing.

Health professionals keep patient charts, researchers depend on the money they collect by writing grant applications, software engineers write technical specifications, and nearly everyone writes e-mail to people inside and outside organization. And before you even get the chance to interview for a job you’ll need to present yourself in cover letters and resumes.

So by taking writing serious and doing your best on every research paper every lab report you write, every new post you write in your blog site and every writing activity you engage in. your preparing  yourself for a good career.

‘’to see what is right and not to do it is want of courage.’’

I think that this means that if you see something that is right but yet you choose to choose the wrong then is not right. Because if you see something that is right then go do it as soon as possible because nothing negative will come up that’s only if you choose the wrong. So it is always important to choose the right.

·         Consider whether the arguments are logical and backed up by the evidence and whether the site presents only on point of view.

·         Check the links to the sources that the author acknowledges scholar writing whether in print or online should include a bibliography.
