Activity hennicktim https://padlet.com/hennicktim/whvqjmqew24b8kjc/wish/1360419196 Think back to the definition of risk that you made at the beginning of the unit. This definition should be written either on an index card or in your reading notebook. Has your definition changed? Was your definition too general or specific? Did a risk-taker support your definition or change it? Think about what specific risk-taker influenced your definition?
Directions:
  1. Review your definition of risk that was made at the beginning of the unit.
  2. Decide if your definition has changed or stayed the same.
  3. If it changed, write about what your new definition would be, why it changed, what risk taker influenced this change.  
  4. If it stayed the same, write about how three risk-takers we read about fit this definition, make sure to use examples from the text to support your definition.
  5. Refer to the PDF attached to this Padlet for a prompt on this activity.

However, we don't often talk about who had the best motivation. For this activity, you will be making a "Motivation-O-Meter" in your reading notebook. This means you will choose 4 risk-takers and rank them on your drawn "Motivation-O-Meter" in your reading notebook.
Directions:
  1. Choose your 4 risk-takers to rank.
  2. Drawn and place them on your reading notebook "Motivation-O-Meter". 
  3. Write two sentences that justify/explain each risk-takers rank.
  4. For a bonus, you can draw a picture for each risk-taker on your "Motivation-O-Meter".
