Catch Up Days MP I (2013-2014)

Everyone:

Prior To Working On Outstanding Work:  You must follow the instructions for CODEHS.ORG on the post below if you have not yet created an account.  Once you have created an account (with your full name, gmail address, password you can remember and the Class Code on the board) you may then complete the following Journal Entry:

Read the article about "Arrest Made In Relation To RATS215 Website" (CLICK HERE) .  Open your Weebly.com Journal Page and Create a NEW Post.  Label the Post "RATS215 Response" and drag a Text Box into the screen below.  Write 5-6 Sentences about your feelings about the student who posted the information online, and about how he should be treated for using social media and websites to post sensitive information.  Describe what you think was right or wrong with his actions and why you think that way.  When you are finished, please press the POST button and add this Journal entry to your site.  If you are not comfortable posting about this topic online, you may choose to email me your response instead.  When you have completed this Journal Post/Email you may work on the opportunity below:

You have the unique opportunity to complete any work you owe me for the First Marking Period of 2013-2014.  Make sure that you fill out the Student Progress Self-Evaluation Checklist completely.  This form will help me to help you.  You must make sure that you include the dates you emailed (GMail) or shared (Google Drive) assignments with me.  You also need to share the information on the completed sheet with your parent/guardian and have them sign and date the form prior to turning it in.  The forms are due NO LATER THAN Friday, November 15th at 4pm for credit.  On the back of the form, please take some time to write a brief (2-3 paragraphs) essay on the grade you think you deserve and outline the reasons behind your belief.  You may include reasons for absences and missing assignments as well as a description of the effort you put into the projects that were turned in.  Defend your statements well and it will go a long way to helping me decide your final grade.  This process will show you what a quarterly or annual performance review might be like in college or the workplace someday.  We will repeat this step for each marking period this year.

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

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.
