Happy Cinco de Mayo!

1. Writing into the Day

2.  Test-Taking Skills

Using the Tic-Tac-Toe sheet, select a row of four activities to work on.  Select the activities that will benefit you most for exams!

3.  Incoming Freshman Handbook

We’re quickly approaching the end of freshman year, and you can now reflect on what it takes to “survive and thrive” at LEC.  All the challenges you have faced this year have made you experts!  So, how can you use this accumulation of knowledge?  Of course you will use it to your benefit in upcoming years, but why not share your knowledge with incoming LEC freshman?  As a class, we will compile your experiences and advice into a survival guide for next year’s freshman.  The final product will include a variety of pictures, rankings, lists, and rules that will help future Cobras navigate their first year at LEC.

You may type them in a Google doc (and share with me) or NEATLY write them.  

Today you will explain the CIF strategies.  Remember, they’ve probably never heard of them before - you have to show them:

- The six strategies with a brief explanation of what each is

- A few sentences with how you see the CIF strategies being used at LEC

- An illustration of your favorite CIF strategy in use
