Timed Write
Target: Everyone has obstacles or challenges in their life. Whether they are simple challenges or life changing challenges, inherently they always build character. Think of a challenge or obstacle you have overcome in your life. Write an essay in which you explain the process you used to overcome your challenge. Be sure to conclude with what you learned from the experience and how it changed your character.

Tutorials
Target: This week tutorials will focus on questioning. Students almost always look for ways to find answers. Most students are always interested in finding the quickest and easiest solution. This makes them great problem solvers. This week for tutorials we will be looking for a deeper inquiry into our content areas. By looking for questions in the "Hidden Curriculum" students will begin to see that there is value in the search for knowledge.
