Dear Class:

I am not here.  I have a substitute.

You will get two handouts.  The first one, you will take the quiz at:  http://mindsetonline.com/testyourmindset/step1.php

Write the results of your Mindset quiz on the first side of the sheet.

The substitute will put on the "TEDTalk:  The Power of Belief" Link   Please answer the questions on the flip side of the sheet while you watch it.  Please have your monitors off during the movie!

At the end of the movie, the substitute will hand out the Skills Worksheet.  Follow the instructions on the first page.  If it is not filled in correctly, it is very possible you will receive an "F" on it so read it carefully.

If you get done with both, please work on your final project on your own.

DO THIS WHEN YOU FINISH EARLY:  work on any incomplete work first, then your
           final project. When working on the final project, refer to the slide tutorial we
​           have been following. NEW LINK: FINAL PROJECT 2016
