Students will be doing their first major presentations (which will ultimately go into Power School as "Student Time Management Mini-Lessons") later this week or early next week, providing details for our time management lesson a couple of weeks ago.

We went briefly over five techniques for time management:

• prioritization,
• breaking it down,
• using a schedule,
• avoiding distractions, and
• building in breaks.

Today students began the formal planning based on their initial brainstorming and discussion last week. They used a graphic organizer and some questions to facilitate their planning.

The fact that we had no air conditioning at the start of the day (and later no power at all) complicated things somewhat, but GPA students never encounter a challenge that they can't overcome.
