Hi Class,
I hope you made good use of your long weekend by getting your Self-Identity Projects completed, which are Due Tuesday September 27th!
This week we will be watching another movie that demonstrates two important lessons- one on values, which we talked about in our first unit, and the other on kindness....Random Acts of Kindness no less. We will watch this video on Tuesday and Wednesday, after which you'll have a multiple choice quiz (so ensure you take notes while watching the movie). Following the movie I'll explain your next project, which is largely inspired by the movie. This is a big project, but a really good one. More to come on this in class so don't miss it!
In the meantime we will be moving ahead into the next unit, which deals with Grad Requirements, Post-secondary education, and careers. This is a really important unit, which will help you determine what you want to do in the future and what classes you'll need to take in order to get there! You will need access to the BC Ministry of Education's Grad Planner. You can access the site by clicking here: Grad Planner 2011-2012 or you may access it from my "Important Links" on the right hand side of my website.
See you in class!

This week we will be wrapping up our first unit on Self-Discovery with a project, review and a test.
For starters, don't forget your Values Survey and Self-Concept Journal Entry that were assigned on Friday. They are due on Tuesday September 27. (Monday is a non-instructional day.)
You will also be assigned a Self-Identity Project. I will go over this with you on Monday. You will be given some class time this week, but the rest you'll be expected to finish on your own time. Don't leave it until the last minute. The due date is the following Monday September 26.
In the meantime we will watch a movie in class that demonstrates personality types and values, review the topics we covered during this unit and have a final test.The test date will be Friday September 23rd.
It will be a fun, but busy week so come to class prepared to work. Bring any materials you'll need for your project.
See you in class!

Week of Sept.12-16
Hey Everybody,
This is just a reminder that your Personality Poster for the Who Am I? assignment is due Monday September 12. Ensure that you have your typed paragraph attached to the back and Part A stapled in front.
This week we will continue exploring personality, by doing a number of personality quizzes. We will be learning about Holland's six personality types. We will also be learning about the Multiple Intelligence Theory, about the Emotional Quotient, about Left and Right brain tendencies, and much more. There will be a lot of in-class activities that you will be doing that will later be incorporated into a final project for this unit. There will also be a Unit Test on the material we are covering, so ensure you are in class and stay on task so you don't miss out on any important information.
It should be a fun week as you begin to learn more about yourselves!
See you in class :)

Back to School :)
I am very excited to be teaching Planning this year. I think it is a highly relevant course about Life and all that comes with it-self-discovery, career planning, finances, health, nutrition, healthy relationships and more. And best of all, it is going to be FUN! We will be doing a lot of in-class activities and assignments, as well as projects this semester.
How can you be successful? Your success in this course depends entirely on you and your ability to keep up with and hand in ALL assignments ON TIME! There is really no reason why you can't be successful in this course, so be prepared each class, be on time, pay attention, USE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY, and make your due dates!
Remember, while this is a fairly fun course, it is a REQUIREMENT to graduate so put in your best effort.
For a list of topics we will be covering this semester, please refer to the course outline. If at anytime you have questions about assignments or concerns please don't hesitate to email me.
Please check this site regularly for information and reminders on assignments, projects, due dates, and tests. I'll do my best to update this weekly!
See you in class! :)
