Journal: Why is note-writing important in building relationships.
Pass out the Timely Note article and have the students read it. Then discuss it as a class. Are you a note writer? Why or why not? Let them know it is one of my biggest struggles. How do you feel when you get a note? What is the power of a Timely note? Explain to them that we are going to try and get better at writing timely notes by writing affirmations to one another.
Pass out the index cards and have them create a name tag for their "mailbox." Pass out the rosters tell them their goal is to write everyone at least 3 affirmations by the end of the trimester. Quality affirmations. These notes are based on trust so please take it seriously and don't make this inappropriate. When they are done with their name tags have them place them in the back in the blue holder.
Discuss their next speech topic: My Goals for the Course and Two Specific things I'm going to do to help me achieve them. I will be using the rubric. I will be video taping them. You will grade yourself again after watching your speech. You will also turn in your speech and I want it word for word of what you are going to say. Practice Practice Practice.
Pass out the TLC final Project information. Go over it with the class. They are to use their leadership skills outside the classroom.
Spend the rest of the time in the library computer lab answering any tech questions and they can work on their glog.
The class seemed to be unaware of the power of a quick, hand written note but seemed to be on board with writing affirmations with one another. The project explanation went well and the computer lab time was used. May need more.
