#7 success

think of the really successful (alexandre bilodeau, al gore, taylor swift, barack obama, bill gates, mark zuckerberg, banksy,etc etc) and try to explain why he or she got that way.....what is the secret to success in your opinion? how does one make it really big? what factor or combination of factors is/are necessary?

unfortunately had to go home again to take sick child to doctor.....so will have library period today to work on "report"

update blogs and follow me if not done so

work on report (see previous post) ...be creative...due next wednesday...must be marked by friday

I would be interested in seeing if twitter has educational possibilities...you would need to be ok with it..you would need to register (takes a minute) , tweet and follow each other (and me)...just through a simple search..if you are up for it...register, tweet and we'll see where it goes

a report

2-4 pages (or equivalent)
research report on one of the possible subjects/topics (obviously cannot be the same as your card)

should be typical report organization: title page, table of contents, introduction, organized content (with sub headings) and conclusion)

or ...approach things a little differently......instead of a typical research report (which is fine), you could deliver your information (of equal depth/breadth) in the form of: a children's book, an original narrative poem, a ballad, a rap, a multi-media presentation, a talk show, an interview , a monologue, an interpretive dance, a digital melange of awesomeness...up to you really..but, don't delay....it should be unveiled nest wednesday
