What makes something “important”?
Look at the items on the next 10 slides. Follow the links to watch or listen to any videos.
As you look at each item, decide for yourself how important that piece is. What makes it important, or tells you that it isn’t important? How do you decide whether it is important or not? What are some criteria that you could use to help you decide?
When you’re done looking at all 10 pieces, open the reflective writing assignment and rank these 10 items from 1 (most important) to 10 (least important) and reflect on how you reached that decision.
