Your first exam in A&P is Wednesday!! How are you feeling? Do you feel prepared for the exam? With two days left to prepare, what's your game plan?

Work Day

Today you're free to work on anything for this class. That can be working on your blog, or doing research on your topic, or even catching up on homework.

As you work I'll hold "mini conferences" with you, to check in and make sure you're doing okay. This is when you start thinking if there's anything you need me to help you with, or get you caught up on.

When your teacher wants you to talk about your progress in the class and how you're doing so far...

Homework

1. Week Three mandatory "Getting To Know Me Project" prompt: Why nursing? Share with your readers the reason why you have chosen to pursue this career field, and what makes it "your thing". (Due NEXT Monday)

2. Read Threshold Concept 1.1 and 1.2 in Naming What We Know and complete Reading Response Four. The writing prompts can be found below. This is a reflection, so it requires more that a simple listing of your thoughts. Complete your reflection in a word document, titled "NWWKReadingResponse4" in your OneDrive folder. (Due Friday)

Threshold Concept 1.1 discusses how writing can help us accumulate new knowledge, and in general help us become better thinkers. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Can you think of situations where writing has helped you with your thinking process? Share a few of those moments. They can be specific, or general.

Threshold Concept 1.2 discusses the need to create audiences in our heads when we are writing. Is that a difficult concept for you to grasp? Do you agree, or disagree? Why?

Find a connection between Threshold Concept 1.1 and/or 1.2 with another Threshold Concept that we have read so far. Explain the connection and how we can apply the two concepts together to strengthen our writing. Use textual evidence to help.

3. Study for Exam 1 in A&P

4. Continue to work on your research and update your Discovery Log as you go.
