Starter for my afternoon class
Set your intention for today's work time 
FRAMING: The key to productive work time is to clear your head of all the "shoulds, woulds, coulds" that you brought into the work time space with you. Focus on the one or two things that you need to accomplish in THIS time. What is reasonable that you accomplish with regards to  your research and senior project?

STARTER TASK: Set two goals for yourself today, ideally based off of the goals I listed in the starter. Try to make them as specific and concrete as possible.  Then, estimate how much time each goal/task will take.  If you are working on the resilience project, your starter should be focused on that!

EXAMPLE
1. I will find an academic text on the effects of colonialism on Kenyan's system of education today. (15 minutes)
2. I will read and annotate the abstract and conclusion of that source (25 minutes)
3. Action Project: I will find and  research two non-profit organizations that do work in Sub-Saharan Africa and email their program directors about potential partnership for my action project.  (1 hour)

Work Time

1. Resilience Project Event Planning Meeting
2. Deep Reading: Finish 4th source and work on either reading notes or intertextual paragraphs
