Perseverance is not a long race:
It is many short races,
One after another.
-Walter Elliot
This video is perfect to show if students have been turning in assignments that show minimal effort. At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils - and can power a locomotive.
Discuss:
*What does it mean that one degree of effort separates the good from the great?
*Who is responsible for the results in your life?
*What does the video say about attitude?
*What does this phrase from the video mean?
We can never help another without helping ourselves. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
*How does it help to have a clearly defined goal to help us reach the extra degree?
Do:
*Have students write down areas in their lives where they need to turn up the heat. To help inspire their writing, replay the video again, but only so they can hear the music. Encourage them to try to keep writing the entire time the music is playing. Ask if they need to have it played a second time to continue writing.
*Have students redo an assignment that was mediocre
