1A Homework for Wed nite class...this HW is due 8-24....

1. Please watch “The Passion Project.” Here is the question to write about: How does the movie speak to you? (3 paras of writing.)   Here is a link to the full written transcript for the Passion Project movie.  For sure you should consult it before writing your 3 para response to the movie....

2. A professor we interviewed once said, “What looks like internal motivation is actually a side effect of the environment a person is in.” What he seems to be saying is that simply TELLING someone to try harder or get some discipline most likely wont work unless there are others supporting factors in play. (It turns out that there is some research in Psychology that supports this theory.) For this homework assignment you will do the following: Write about a time where you felt like you were kicking ass in doing something, and really felt motivated about it. What support systems, if any, did you have in play around you? (2-3 paras of writing.) You may also want to disagree with the professor if you think that you DID have internal motivation.

3. Here is a claim: If you are pursuing a passion that requires you to go to college, you should plan on and be ready to critique education. Do you agree or disagree with this claim. Support your opinion.  (2-3 paras of writing.)

 

4. Come up with 3 short answers for each of these questions:

• Why do some students have a lack of passion?
• How does it feel to be without passion?
• How might a person go about finding their passion?
• What should a person do once they find their passion?

 

Pls type the HW.... and bring to class on Wednesday........
