Holiday Reading Assignment

"When others trust us, they give us greater leeway because they feel we don't need monitoring to assure that we'll meet our obligations."

This is a nice quote from the reading that connects directly to the idea of self-regulation.  When you are given a project or an assignment, there is an expectation of trust that you will complete the work.  It connects also to your project, your goal setting, and my trust in you that you will meet your goals instead of coming up with excuses.

When you come back on Monday after the break, please bring back the reading on trustworthiness with a written response to the idea that stands out to you the most.  Which one do you think is the most important, difficult, or challenging?

• Honesty

•Integrity

•Reliability

•Loyalty

 

Based on the do now, which was to define honesty, integrity, reliability, and loyalty in your own words, write a one page response on how your definition or understanding of ONE of  the terms connects to the text.  

• What is similar or different about your understanding of the term and the definition in the text?
• What do you agree with or disagree with in the text? (pull a quote)
• Describe a moment in your life where your own honesty, integrity, reliability, or loyalty was challenged (write about the term you selected).  What was the situation?  How did you respond? 
• Why does trustworthiness have four parts? What makes it so complicated? Based on your understanding of all the terms, try and make a connection between the one you have selected one of the others.  
  

You can write your response on the back of the packet.  Please bring it with you next Monday.
