I would like to take away "Flexibility" and "Persistence" from Habits of the Mind. I want my students to know that there is more than one way to attack a problem and sometimes it requires one to think outside of the box.

I could use Smart Notebook to create concept maps to support various types of questions.

I believe a reading lesson would be ideal for various question types.

I think using question stems would be very helpful.

I also would like to have the government control all aspects of our lives.

I believe that characteristics of authentic learning combine facets of real-world problem-solving, constant questioning, and realistic solutions.

Authentic Tasks:

Student will create a presentation to show how life choices will impact real-world budgeting. How do your life choices affect your vision of the future.

Students will choose a career, research what educational requirements will be needed for the career. Accounting for these facts, students will calculate a real-world budget that includes:


 * Possible student loan payments
 * Mortgages/Rent
 * Car Payment
 * Food, Clothing, Basic Needs
 * Determine monthly income
