5-9-11
Students will be working on a timed write about perseverance. The following rubric will be used to evaluate speeches on perseverance. Students will work for 100 minutes on a timed write speech that will be presented to the class on Monday May 16, 2011.
Perseverance is a steady effort to maintain a course of action, purpose, or belief, often in spite of difficulty. Write a speech for a school assembly about the meaning of perseverance as it applies to personal success. You may use the following information as well as your own experiences, observations, and/or readings.
The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall. Source: Nelson Mandela
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. Source: Lance Armstrong
I would go and look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it would split in two, and I knew it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. Source: Jacob A. Riis
Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. Remember no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost. Sometime, somewhere, somehow we shall find that which we seek. Source: Helen Keller
It’s not that I’m so smart; it’s just that I stay with problems longer. Source: Albert Einstein
If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Source: Michael Jordan
