Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens

We started one of our Q4 projects. We are reading a non-fiction book called "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens."

It is by Sean Covey. 

It tells about seven things that young adults can learn to do to make their paradigms stronger. 

A paradigm (say "Para-dime") is like how you see and understand the world.

We are doing this book like you do books in college. We have an assignment to read. There is a learning packet to help find the important information. We have to work independently (outside of class) a lot. This is new for us. It is harder than it looks.

Then in class we get to talk about what we read. We have a discussion. We can share our thoughts on it and also ask about things to clarify.

This project is going to help us get ready for adult life because:
1. it is practice for college (the process of reading and discussing) and 
2. because of the stuff we get to learn (the content of the book.)
