For the next class - 10/20/10

For the next class, bring a printed copy of your essay with you to class.

For clarification - the strengths and weaknesses essay is different from the posting from the TED Tony Robbins video watched in class (whats driving you, etc.). This is a new assignment titled Strengths and Weaknesses Essay.

Below are the instructions again for the essay.

Your essay must have the following:

Answer the questions...

My strengths are...(one paragraph)

My weaknesses are...(one paragraph)

Next, consider some of the consequences of your strengths and your weaknesses. Write at least one or two more paragraphs on the consequences of your strengths and weaknesses. How will your strengths help you in your goals for the future? How will you overcome your weaknesses or use your weakness as a positive in reaching your goals?

Then go back and write an introduction (one paragraph) and then a conclusion (one paragraph).

Total amount of paragraphs = 5
