Starter Legislation is being introduced in Colorado that would cut CSI charter schools' access to mill levy funding. Student Council reps are hoping you all are up for a quick letter-writing campaign to advocate for the importance of equal funding for charter schools. If it works, it would be great to give a little time to this effort in class. If you are down to help support charter school funding, and thus Animas's ability to build a new school, I would encourage each of us to send a quick email to [email protected] expressing the importance of equal funding for charter schools. Here is an example email template, or rather what Libby wrote! and here is Ethan's letter. Feel free to use and modify/personalize either of these. What is a mill levy? The mill levy is the assessed property tax rate used by local governments and other jurisdictions to raise revenue in order to cover annual expenses. Work Time Goals

Starter: Deep Reading Survey Please take the survey linked above to give us feedback on this assignment! Lori's Rationale about the next assignment! This is actually a really key piece- it requires you to engage and interact with your sources at a deeper level, and it's something that former seniors have found hugely helpful once they enter into the writing process. If you do this well, you should have some pieces of analysis and evidence that you can pop right into your thesis when you are drafting. This is also a task that is key to academic research, and is likely something you are going to have to do at some point in college- I've talked to a number of alumni who have had to do this in college. As far as the number of sources, the more research you do, the more you know. Remember-- the goal of a writing assignment is the RESEARCH, not the actual writing. The downfall of much non-fiction writing is not having done enough research. Annotated Bibliography
HOMEWORK Find and print at least two additional sources. Announcements
Resilience Meeting Agenda
Starter FRAMING: The key to productive work time is to clear your head of all the "shoulds, woulds, coulds" that you brought into the work time space with you. Focus on the one or two things that you need to accomplish in THIS time. What is reasonable that you accomplish with regards to your research and senior project? STARTER TASK: Set two goals for yourself today, ideally based off of the goals I listed in the starter. Try to make them as specific and concrete as possible. Then, estimate how much time each goal/task will take. If you are working on the resilience project, your starter should be focused on that! EXAMPLE
