Video Notes & Seminar Preparation

You picked up a handout explaining the Seminar procedure, which we went over as a class.  On Wednesday, we watched a video, "From One Second to the Next."  You took notes AFTER watching each of the four segments.  Today, I'd like you to take out a sheet of paper and write your response to ALL 4 questions below:
1.     Which story from the documentary struck you the hardest?  As always, explain why!
2.     Did this week's topic change your beliefs or actions?  Again, as always, explain why/why not!
3.     How do you think we, as a society, could cut back on distracted driving (especially texting)?
4.     Do you have any thoughts about this week's topic that you'd like to add/share with us?
AFTER doing this, share your notes and have a brief discussion with your table peers.  Before the end of class, please use your notes to complete the survey, from which we'll gather questions for Wednesday's Seminar.  KEEP YOUR NOTES!!!

If you have time, read about the video at the following sites (and follow some of the links within to dig deeper):

Next Monday, we'll watch another video (this one is more fun) from the "Test Your Brain" series.
On Tuesday, you will have some roundtable time to work on anything - the tutors will be out visiting classes.
On Wednesday, we'll have a seminar discussion on texting, distractions, and the myth of (something).
On Thursday, you will have tutors available to help with math (and any late Organization checks).

On Friday, our last day before a 17-day break, you'll complete the Seminar Reflection.
