Let's try a WE DO Inspired by this month's lesson plan, Articulating Tone Through Design.

For the next two minutes, sit in a comfortable position and lengthen your inhales and exhales - four counts in and four counts out if you can. Once you're settled in your breath, think back to a favorite place in your childhood. Silently recall five details about it. Then, invite yourself to visit it by thinking about what sounds you often heard when you were there, what scents passed your nostrils, and what things you could touch. When you're ready to leave, thank that place for being a part of your life, take a nice big stretch, and continue with your day.

It is always a good time to investigate author intention and December's lesson plan does just that. And, it does it very well!

It is always a good time to investigate author intention and December's lesson plan today.

School may be winding down for the semester, but December's lesson, “Activating Agency: Identifying Impact” has a lot to offer!
