So today, we had three smallish assignments that are due today. I explained them all at the start of class and then let you work on them.

In the Carpe Diem section, click on the Seize the Day folder. Read the story for Lingerie and follow the directions. Pretty easy. All you have to do is find ONE WORD. Then, explain how the story is carpe diem. You can do this is the comment section.

Then, grab the #carpediem or #yolo PowerPoint. These are all tweets that I got a few years ago and whited out the actual hash tag. For each image, click it and go to PICTURE then COLOR and then choose PURPLE for carpe diem and BLUE for YOLO.

Then, finish your bucket list and turn it in.

Gradespeed is finally up! Grades are currently being updated so look for a complete average on Monday during VV.

Last night, I took all of your post-it’s note and typed them up. I want you to cross out the items that would create regret when the person realized that death was not imminent.

regret

For example, if I wrote that I wanted to give away all of my money to charity, I probably would regret that once I realized that I was going to live. You aren’t judging – it’s not whether it’s GOOD or BAD – it’s about regret.

We then talked about the difference between YOLO and Carpe Diem and then we categorized tweet based on which hash tag we thought it should have. Any tweet that is CARPE DIEM is going to be BLUE and any YOLO tweet is RED.

hashtag3See! Perfect!

Lastly, I briefly introduced our first major grade: The Obituary. We are in the CARPE DIEM unit and this is a great way to show not only that you understand carpe diem, but how you can apply this to your real life. That’s relevance! This is supposed to be an INSPIRING activity and it’s fairly easy – if you have goals. If you don’t have goals, it can be a bit difficult, so to assist with that, we are going to do a FUTURE TIMELINE.

Using the following resource, create a timeline of at least ten major events in your life AFTER graduation. I just want a title and a picture for each event. The more detailed you get here, the easier the major grade writing will be.

timeline saveIf you need to stop and save while you are in the middle, you can save the file where the x is, but that is ONLY for rough drafts. This is NOT what you will turn into me. You will click SAVE FINAL.

This will create a PDF file that you then turn into me. If you turn in anything other than a PDF, you’ll have to resubmit.
