ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK:

Point Around the Pictures

When you read back your writing to someone else, try to point around the picture.  When your finger lands on a part, say all you can about that part.  (Taken from The Writing Strategies Book by Serravallo)

LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:

Loyalty- faithfulness to another

LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:

If you hear something negative about one of your friends, don't repeat it.  If necessary, let a Designer know what was said.
