WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING RIGHT OR BEING KIND, CHOOSE KIND. In our reading of Wonder we were introduced to Mr. Browne, August's English teacher. He introduced the class to a Precept. Precepts are rules about really important things, like a motto, a famous quote, a saying or ground rule that can motivate you or guide you when making decisions about really important things. POST:Choose a precept that motivates you or is really important to you. Explain why you have chosen this precept. Make it meaningful and original. Check for spelling before posting. *** 'I am' poem typing directions- because you were having difficulties with options for the I am poem slides, I asked you to make your own copy. But I tried this again with another laptop and when you click on your own slide, you should not be affecting other students' slides. Those who were changing everyone's colour must have been doing something wrong. Therefore, you may click on your original number and type your 'I am' text directly on the google slide I shared with you. (Do not change the colour of your slide tonight ...leave it white) Homework:
Math gr.7 pg. 213 #1b, c, d, 2a) REDO but use the new rules for 4 and 8 that you copied from pg. 15. grade 6 worksheet, pg. 86 read, pg. 87 #1-7 French calendar - Due Thursday I am poem- type your text on your number of the google slide document that I shared with you. First send me an example of how you can change the options. Practice google drive slide options eg. background colour, text, sliding images (see my gmail for directions) Book order Photo orders

"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday". To me this precept means not to compare yourself to others, instead improve in yourself. It's meaningful to me because I always worry that I have to catch up to someone else but when I found this quote, I learned I just have to be a better person than you were yesterday.

"You can mimic the result but not the creativity." To me this precept means that being your own person is better than copying what you want others to see you as. It's meaningful to me because one time we all have tried to mimic the result and the creativity and everytime the creativity cannot be copied. Can I come in early to finish my french? Like about 8:00? That was my quote of the day. Have a good night everyone!

My precept is "Be the change you want to see in the world". I think this means, show others that its never late to change. Direct those who fall into the bad side and back to the good side. We all make mistakes but show them that cou can change. See you guys on Tomorrow! Have a good night!

My precept is "Look at who you are as a person, then look at who you are as a child." I think this means be nice to your parents, as you would be to friends. So, you don't say "I hate you!" to your friends, do you? Don't say it to your parents then. Why am I giving a lecture? Lol

My precept is "when things aren't adding up in your life, subtract!" I found it last year when I wasn't doing to well my grades were low, just bad time! Anyway it kinda became my motto no body knew. In my mind when something went wrong I'd say "when things don't add up subtract." It kind of helped me in a way to be who I am now, happy, so far good grades and honestly right now is just a good time now! The meaning is kind of like "when things go wrong try something new."

Be who you want to be I think it means for example if your friend asks you to be more aggresive and you don't want to then tell him/her no and that proves on what kind of person you want to be.

My precept is: Be your self; everyone else is already taken. I think this means to not change who you are just to be something that your not.

"Even if you wake up feeling bad make it your mission to be nice." I like this precept and live by it every day because when I do feel bad waking up I don't want to put that feeling on others.

A precept of mine is:#1. "The hardest thing to do is usually the right thing to do". #2. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind". I used these two because they strongly resemble the attitude in our family and are important to our lives.
