Heads-Up for Scholar Skills Workshop October 15, 2010

In this workshop we'll focus on Habit #1 of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Scholars:

 Study Schedule/Plans and Wise Time Management. 

Don't miss this class as we talk about and brainstorm ways to accomplish this habit. You'll leave this class with a handful of tools to choose from to help you establish this habit in your life and help you become a more effective scholar.

To be prepared:
1. Re-read Chapter 1 from Part One in The Well Educated Mind. Mark it up with your thoughts and reactions. Write insights you get into your Scholar Journal.

2.  Think through your schedule and study obligations and create a study plan/ system for following through. Set aside the time you need for study. This is creative, hard work but it is the first step and habit of becoming an Effective Scholar. Be prepared to share your study plan and schedule in class.

3. If you are in the Classic Intensives class, bring your finished Green Book Essay ready to hand in.

Remember...if you are practicing the other 7 Habits of Highly Effective Scholars in your other studies, I will give you kudos for your effort. For example: keep a timeline (breadth), write in your scholar journal or create notebook pages of insights and interests (depth), look for connections, patterns, and themes in your studies and write about them in your scholar journal or make notebook pages of them.
