This week's deep question
An EKG is electricity, not blood flow. Explain what the trace you read this week says the heart is doing, and why a normal-looking trace does not rule out every problem.
Three or four sentences. If you did this week's work, you can answer it; if you are stuck, open your Cornell notes from the days listed above. That is what they are for.
The ten-minute walk
- 01My grade right now, and why
Predict it first, then open the portal or Schoology and check. Predicting first is the part that raises grades.
- 02My notes this week
What your Cornell notes show you worked on, and one thing you would improve about how you took them.
- 03What I understand now that I did not on Monday
Name it plainly. If nothing comes to mind, look at Monday's page and compare.
- 04Where we are in the PLTW curriculum
One line. The week page prints it for you; put it in your own words.
- 05This week's deep question
Three or four sentences. It is answerable from this week's work, and from nothing else.
- 06How I am feeling about this class and school right now
Honest is the only wrong-proof answer. Mr. Mendoza reads every one of these.
- 07Anything that might get in my way next week
Only if you want to say it. A heads-up on Friday beats an apology on Thursday.
- 08My SMART goal for next week
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. One goal we can both check next Friday.
