New Goals for Gradual Release of Responsibility

With your parents, spend some time looking at the Gradual Release of Responsibility diagram outside the classroom:

• Explain how the diagram works
• Share your cards with them by taking them off one-by-one and finding somewhere to talk about each one
• Find out if they think your cards are in the right place on the GRR
• Discuss how you can work together with your parents to progress
• Decide on one or two goals for the next couple of weeks
• Make a comment to tell us your goals and a bit of information about the conversations you had
  

Remember, make your goals:

Sustainable (you will carry on doing it)

Manageable (it is not too much to take on)

Achievable (you can achieve success with it)

Realistic (it is appropriate for you)

Timely (now is the perfect time to work on this goal)

Steve Jobs Inspiration

This was my homework but it was a really good piece of writing I wanted to make a post of my homework.

Steve Jobs inspired himself, which inspired other people, which inspired me.    Steve Jobs is the founder of the Apple Company. Steve Jobs amazed me with his life story. He got kicked out of his own company, but returned to lead it 10 years later. He wanted to change MUSIC, MOVIES, and COMPUTERS AND HAND HELD TECHLOLOGY. He has survived liver cancer and two near deaths. Well he did.

Apple owned Pixar animation studios they made one of the best animated movies of all time “ Finding Nemo”. After making 864 million dollar from the movie, Apple sold Pixar to Disney.

In that same time he had incredible ideas. The Mac, the iPod, music ect. All the Apple product ideas came from him. Steve Jobs is the Di Vinci of our time. He thought of things that other people could never  think of such as, fitting a 120gb hard drive in an iPod. That right there is amazing. Steve jobs inspired me with his life story he NEVER GAVE UP HOPE, HE COULD ALWAYS FIND AN ANSWER. WITHOUT HIM THE WORLD WOULD BE LOST. HE IS THE CEO OF THE DECADE. Steve Job’s friend said this about him: “Steve is a billionaire that would rather spend most of his money on the best Apple product ever than the best house in the world”.  HE WANTED TO HELP. HE MADE A DIFFRENCE IN THE WORLD…

Homework – Quote

This is a quote from an advertisement I found in the newspaper this morning. Read it carefully, discuss it with someone else and then make a comment to tell us what you think it really means.

I have changed two words in the quote. In the newspaper it said “man” but I have changed it to “person”. Then I had to change “his” to “their”.

“A person’s true character is revealed through their actions.”
