uccess Book Report-
Go to a library or book store and find a book, probably in the self-help section, that discusses how to be successful. Any book that discusses motivation, self-help, success is fine. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the book. Your report should describe the book. Write about the author. What makes them an expert on this topic? What is their background to be able to write a book helping others become successful. Then, in another paragraph or two, explain what the book is about. Describe their methods for becoming successful. What does it take? How should one go about becoming a success? Finish with your own thoughts on what he or she had to say and how, knowing what you know now, do you think their ideas might work.
Remember to take a selfie with the book in your hand at the bookstore / library. Show me the selfie when it's your turn to present in class.
It's due on Tuesday, February 20th.

Stress Letter assignment-
Write a 2 paragraph letter to someone/something that causes you the most stress. It must be written as a letter! In the first paragraph explain why this person/thing is causing you stress. Be as detailed as possible, give examples if necessary to further explain the stress this person/thing is causing you. The second paragraph should explain ways you can cope with the stress. Using what you've learned about active coping methods, explain how you'll use active coping strategies to help off-set the stress this person/thing is causing you. Which strategies might work best for you and why.
Please make sure that as you write it, you are solely focusing on the person or thing you're writing to. YOU ARE WRITING THIS LETTER TO THEM!! Pretend that you will give this to them when you're done writing it, but instead will turn it in to me.
Once again, I'll be as discrete as possible. Unless you share it with someone else, no one will see this letter or know about it other than you and me. If you are at all worried about that, then make it out to "Dear Anonymous,".
It is due on Friday, October 13th.
I hope this experience helps you in some way.
