Risk-Taking Quotes

Today's Goal: Interpret famous quotes about the worth of risks in our lives

The Plan:

1. Read
2. In your group, you will get one quote that you will become an expert on. Together, decide what the quote means and paraphrase it (write it in your own words). 
3. You'll then meet with a different group where each of you will share your findings. You must know your quote well in order to be able to do this! (Everyone will have to share.)
4. Finally, you will identify which one of the quotes is the most valuable to you, and explain why.

If you are absent, you'll need to get the paper from me. These quotes will be useful for your writing assignment later.

• Call in your stereotypes essay if you haven't (and finish it first!)
