***************************
1) Warm Up: Graphing how I use my time (12 min)
  1. Copy the spreadsheet above.
  2. Make sure the activities listed match what you actually do.
  3. Put how many hours you spend on each activity in a day.
  4. Then, fill in the next column to show how many days a week you do each thing.
  5. In the column labeled "How many total hours you spend on each activity in one week" put "=(click on B2)*(click on C2)". Hit enter. Drag this function down through the whole column.
  6. Create a pie chart using column A and column B and then a second chart with column A and column D.
  7. Reflect: 
    1. What surprised you about how you spend your time?
    2. Are there any activities you want to add or remove?
    3. What changes will you consider making as we move toward 10 day review?
2) Literacy Block/Success Workshop: Breaking Down College Assignments (20 min)

  3. After you finish your task:
    1. Share your results with the class.
    2. Quickwrite: What differences and similarities did you notice between college and high school assignments? What will you do to ensure you succeed on college assignments.
