I hope everyone has as nice a weekend as I did. When you come into class, please click the link to the left (Keyboarding Practice) or log into TypingWeb.com and practice your typing for 5 minutes, or until we get started.
Next, please go to School District of Philadelphia LOGIN Page (Click Here) and use the Username & Password listed on the index cards to LOGIN to your StudentNet Accounts.
ASSIGNMENT:
Please add the following GOALS to your Individual Learning Plan on StudentNet
LT1 - Long Term Goal 1 should be a future career or college you want to go to and why
LT2 - Long Term Goal 2 should be your goal for the end of this school year
ST1 - Short Term Goal 1 should be something you can do this month to help reach LT2
ST2 - Short Term Goal 2 should be something you can change this week to help you improve.
Goals should follow the SMART outline. Make sure your goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
You must list at least two (2) BARRIERS to reaching each of your Short Term Goals. Barriers can be Internal (you can change your habits to help yourself), or External (things that may be out of your control that you need help to change).
Finally, you must list a STRATEGY for overcoming each BARRIER. Your STRATEGY must be realistic and achievable.
The worksheet is not necessarily set-up for the assignment listed above. Please complete the worksheet completely prior to signing online. It helps to really be truthful to yourself about your abilities and limitations, and make sure you are doing your best to be honest about what you want to achieve. The more specific your goals, the easier it will be to complete this assignment. Start with your Long Term Goals, then Short Term Goals, then your Barriers and Strategies to overcome them. This exercise will help you to apply to High Schools and in the future. It is a good idea to follow these steps whenever you have to make a plan for something (Job, Family, Budget, Volunteering, Sports, or anything else you want to improve throughout your life.)
Mrs. Cohen will be joining us to help you learn to use StudentNet and to provide you with some information about your Individual Learning Plan online. We will be helping you while you navigate through this site.

Assignment:
Use the Philadelphia Notebook to identify High Schools you are interested in applying for. Use your Student ID and Password for StudentNet. Use the information on StudentNet to fill out the worksheet for your Counseling Folder. Find your 7th Grade Final Grades for Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. Find your Attendance Records and other Information on the form. Do research about the schools you are interested in. Finish the forms on the cover of your Counseling Folder and the High School Application and Return the folder to Mrs. Cohen.
Please follow the instructions given by Mrs. Cohen over the next few days to help you start the application process for High School Selection. We will be working on StudentNet and High School Applications in Computer Science Class until Thursday.
Friday and next week we will begin IMovie. Follow along and please take the next few days seriously. The high school you attend can be critical in helping decide on a college or future career. We are here to help you make the best decision you can.
Good Luck!

Integrity (13 Characteristics)
13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity
2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.
3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.
4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.
5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.
6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.
7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.
8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.
9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.
10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.
11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.
12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.
13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.
If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
