We graded ourselves on the four words today. Collaborative, Professional, Persistent, and Motivational…students graded themselves on one word, then graded the community on a second word, and then concluded by grading their peers on the two remaining words.

On the back of the paper, they wrote about what they see as the biggest issues facing our advisory:

Patience
We need to work on talking less when in big groups.
Not being a liar.
One thing we need to work on is staying focused on the work. I think that a good portion of us take independent work for granted.
Not going on Youtube so much.
We need to work on our own projects.
One thing we need to work on is having one voice when someone else is talking.
Getting the entire class to buckle down and be quiet and get the work done when needed. For example, no side conversations, no singing out loud, etc. Basically like a library when it’s time to work. Otherwise it can be as loud as ever.
Talking to people outside our friend groups.
I think people need to shh…
Our four hours togeher we need to get each other to be involved when we’re doing group work because students are willing to collaborate.
One voice/proper argument debate
We need to learn how to get focused when it’s time to work.
Stop talking over each other.
I don’t want to change anything.
Speaking one at a time.
