Introducing Perseverance:
step 1 - Foldable (1st make a hamburger fold in paper; 2nd make another hamburger fold (I call this a slider); 3rd hold the paper so that the seams are on the top and right side - then fold down the top right corner to make a small triangle; 4th when you open it all out you should have a diamond in the center of the page)
step 2 - Label the four corners of the foldable (Bethany Hamilton, Derek Redmond, Choi Sung Bong, and Nick Vujicic) Leave the diamond blank.
step 3 - Watch four videos clips about four different people. After each video, you will have a 4-5 minutes to quick write about your impressions, questions, understandings about the person and what they've gone through. Video Links:
Bethany Hamilton
Derek Redmond
Choi Sung Bong
Nick Vujicic
Reflect - After the last quick write, determine what each of these individuals have in common. Write the word perseverance at the top of the diamond and define it in your own words. Surround the word perseverance with other words that describe it (linking language). Complete this quickwrite: Do you know of someone who has had to persevere? What was their obstacle? How did they show determination in order to persevere? (making connections)
