Life Lesson #17 (Be Positive)...

Be Positive

*This is probably a bit of a risk to use with fourth graders, but I'm ok with that.

*Mention the word underwear or show a video with diapers and you are sure to get some laughs.

*I love the message in this video.  Just be positive!

*The class of writers will watch the video clip a few times.  We then get busy writing.

*They can write their reactions, thoughts, reminders, feelings, or what they notice in the video.

*After about five to ten minutes of writing, we do some quick sharing.

*It is my hope that these weekly "life lessons" will have a lasting impact on my students.
