ELA Journal Questions - 

These are the questions. You can (and should) copy and paste from Ms. Black's ELA Journal.

1. What was your team's final decision? Do you agree with it? Why or why not?
2. How did it feel when a value you cared about was removed from the board? 
3. What strategies did you use in completing the activity? How did you make decisions as a team?
4. Were you ever persuaded to change your mind? Explain. 
5. Why do you think that everyone has different values? If we know that everyone has different values, how does that affect how we communicate and interact with each other?

IF ABSENT!
Do the following in your ELA Journal instead:

1. Visit a list of core values. Here is a pretty good one; it's very long.
2. Choose 5 Core Values that you find to be extremely important in your life.
3. Explain what each of these values are (define them) and why they matter to you. (That sounds like at least two sentences for each value to me)
