Second day of school! 1 down, 187 left to go! Unless you graduate sooner than that. Lucky.

Today, we started off Prioritizing Life Values. We used the cards that and put them order from MOST IMPORTANT to LEAST IMPORTANT. Then, we sneezed about it. If you weren’t here, there are digital instructions in Blackboard. You can find this under Beowulf > Epic.

We then took notes over what an epic is and specifically, what an Epic HERO is. We spent a lot of time talking about the VALUES of an EPIC HERO.

We then watched the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny and asked each one of you to ponder a specific questions as we watched:

• Who are the epic people featured in the video?
• What are the “valorous deeds” that have been accomplished?
• What are some examples of the supernatural?

If you weren’t here for this, you can do this in Blackboard. I may have to play the video for you if you can’t get to You Tube on your phone.

Then, I gave you homework: the Vistas Interview. You have to go interview six people (three students not in a Riley class and three staff members) and ask them who their hero is or who is a celebrity that they admire. I don’t care if you do this online or on paper, as long as it’s turned in.

I will be absent for the NEXT THREE DAYS, so please do your work – it is going in the GRADEBOOK EACH DAY!
