JOURNAL 10: WARM UP

On the next slide is a sample visualization. As you read it, prepare to answer these questions:

What images can you picture from this description?

What sensory words does the writer use?

What emotions come to mind as you read the description?

What would you add or change to make the visualization more effective for you?


I get a huge grin on my face and start laughing out loud. I remember a waitress at a barbecue place in North Carolina. When she came to take away my plate, I showed her some lyrics I'd written on a napkin. "You're going to hear this on the radio one day. It’s called ‘A Mama Who Will Stay,’" I told her. Riding in my car, I chuckle out loud, reach over and turn the volume up a bit. A feeling of tremendous satisfaction washes through me like a warm breeze. My dream has come true!

MY VISUALIZATION(JOURNAL ENTRY 10)

I am driving down a back road in the Appalachian foothills, listening to a country music station. It's a beautiful day, sun glistening on autumn leaves, air crisp and clean. I roll down the window and feel the wind on my arm, take another sip of Mountain Dew. After a classic Emmylou Harris song, the DJ announces, "Here's a new song from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, off their latest album. This one's called 'A Mama Who Will Stay.' I think you're gonna like it."


VISUALIZATION

What images can you picture from this description?What sensory words does the writer use?What emotions come to mind as you read the description?What would you add or change to make the visualization more effective for you?Remember these suggestions when you write your own visualization.


FOUR KEYS TO VISUALIZATION

Relax

Use Present Tense

Use All Five Senses

Feel the Feelings


ONE STUDENT'S STORY:Amanda Schmeling

For you, what is the most interesting or useful aspect of Amanda's story? Be prepared to explain your choice.


APPLYING THE CONCEPT

Compare these two goal statements:By September 30th, I will obtain a high paying job with the fastest growing company in our metropolitan area.Beginning May 1st and continuing for ten

weeks, I will send a letter of inquiry and my resume to five employers each week.

Analyze both goals using the five criteria of theDAPPS Rule.

What are the pluses and minuses of each goal statement?


BELIEVING IN YOURSELF:WRITING A PERSONAL AFFIRMATION

FOCUS QUESTIONS

What personal qualities will you need to achieve your dreams?

How can you strengthen these qualities?


Writing Your Affirmation

• I am a _________, ___________, _________ man/woman.

• I am a ________, __________, __________ man/women, ______ing __________.

• I am a _______, __________, _______ man/woman and I __________.

• My Affirmation I am a spiritual, intelligent, dedicated man, creating a better world by working with young adults. Or I am a spiritual, intelligent, dedicated man, and I will make a positive impact in the lives of young adults.


AFFIRMATION MILLING

1. With your affirmation on a card, walk around the room meeting people for 90 seconds.

2. Greet one person at a time saying, “Hi, I’m [your name], and I’m a [your affirmation].” Your partner says, “Yes, you are.” And you say, “I know!” Now reverse roles and repeat the same exchange.

3. Find new partners and repeat Step 2 twice. (3 people total)

4. As you say and hear affirmations, be very aware of your inner conversation as well as how you feel. Be prepared to report your full experience.


EMPOWERING YOUR AFFIRMATION

1. Repeat your affirmation. (Several times a day.)

2. Dispute your Inner Critic. (Remember a time when you demonstrated aquality in your affirmation.)

3. Align your words and deeds. (Each time your actions demonstrate aquality, you strengthen both the quality andyour belief in possessing the qualities.)


EMBRACING CHANGE

From the list of nine options, choose the one you think would be most helpful to you. (page 105)

Organize into groups of people who all chose the same option.

Explain the reason for your choice, any challenges you expect, and how you will overcome them.

Team up with one or more “accountability partners.” Commit to reminding, encouraging, and checking progress with each other.


WISE CHOICES IN COLLEGE

What is your level of motivation to do well in college? Be honest!

How will learning effective study strategies increase your motivation?

Knowing effective study strategies increases your expectations of success. (Remember, V x E = M)


WISE CHOICES IN COLLEGE

1. Examine the strategies in the "Before Taking Notes" section. Which of these are actions you already do? Which of the others do you think would help you the most to improve your academic performance? (page 110)

2. Repeat Step 1 for the "While Taking Notes" and "After Taking Notes" sections.

3. Choose one strategy from each section and make a personal commitment to use these three strategies consistently for one week.


BECOMING AN ACTIVE LEARNER

In pairs, create a concept map for Chapter 3, placing the Key Concept at the center. (Hint: The Key Concept is found in the chapter title.)

Now add Main Ideas…then any Secondary Ideas.

Now add Major and Minor Supporting Details.

Compare your concept map with one created by another pair of students. What can you learn from theirs?
