1) Which answer do you think is correct?  Why?

2) Which mistake was made in the answer that wasn't correct?
Bonus: How could you correct the mistake?

Homework #2

Tonight, you will write two paragraphs about perseverance (on loose leaf, to be collected).

Paragraph 1: Describe a time when you became frustrated trying to finish something (either in the classroom or outside of school) but you persevered and completed the task.

Paragraph 2: How did you feel when you finished the task?  Why do you think you finished the task instead of quitting when you became frustrated?
