4. Here is your challenge for the weekend. This is due by next Friday.
Do you have a grade that you’re hoping would just disappear
from my gradebook? A test/ quiz that you didn’t study for? A
homework that you forgot to complete? Well, here’s your
chance to make it…
VANISH!!
Task: On Friday night before you go to sleep, you will shut off the technology that controls you. By “the technology,” I mean all of the technology that blinds you from the world…everything. You must shut off your iPod/iPad, your computer, your Facebook account, your smartphone, your television, and anything else that keeps you from enjoying your family, friends, and the outside world. There are no loopholes! If you can’t do it, you can’t do it. You must live like this for both Saturday and Sunday (the entire two days), and handwrite a reflection (the front and back of one page) about your experience.
