Topic 1: Seven Habits of Successful PLC Students

#1 -- Attend Class Faithfully -- You cannot learn if you are not present!

#2 -- Develop Good Study Habits -- Listen, take notes, read, and review what you have learned.

#3 -- Motivate Themselves -- Good students want to do well no matter what anyone else is doing or not doing.

#4 -- Set High Expectations -- Set goals and work toward achieving them. Know where you want to go, aim high, and you will get there.

#5 -- Learn from Their Mistakes -- "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." -Albert Einstein

#6 -- Built Healthy Relationships -- Surround yourself with others who are like-minded.

#7 -- Realize the Importance of Communication -- Learn to write well, speak well, and be aware of the message you send when you are not speaking.

Task One: In which of these areas do you need to make the most improvement to become a more successful student? Even if you feel as though you are already successful, you could still make strides in one of these areas? Which is it?

I need to make improvement in #6 and #7 because I'm really bad at making friend. I don;'t know why I'm bad at making friends but it just seems hard and i also ain't that good at communicating so i need to improve in that area also.

I also need to learn how to get my thought out there so people can understand what I'm tryng to say. I'm also real bad at meeting new people i can't get along with them But I don't know why that happens. Another one I need to Improve on is #5 because it is hard to learn from my mistakes. Now I'm working on #5 to better my self so i won't get in trouble.

Task Two: What did we miss? Can you think of anything you might add to this list? Come up with one or two more habits you believe positive students have. Explain why you think your additions to this list would be important for every student at Classic City High School.

Having an open mind is something that any good student should have in my opinion. Having an open mind is good for anyone because bad remarks towards that person won't affect them. they also can look outside the picture to solve problems that they wouldn't be able to if the enclosed them self in and won't take help from anyone. Also being a caring person would take you far because u would sympathize others to help them and the person won't be selfish because they want to help other out.

Task Three: Request a student information form from your teacher and fill it out completely. You should do this even if you have filled out one of these forms previously.
