This week during class meeting, we focused on Habit #2: Begin with the End in Mind. Students worked together on an an online jigsaw puzzle. Without seeing the picture ahead of time, making sense of the pieces was difficult and stressful. We struggled to make progress. After taking a look at the picture, we were able to put the puzzle together fairly quickly. Knowing the intended outcome helped us to make smart choices to get the desired result.
