Best Success Indicator?
Grit Score
*I rarely plan ahead. I’m a spur-of-the-moment kind of person. *I’d be good in a dangerous job because I can make my mind up quickly. *If something better comes along it’s OK to cancel a longstanding appointment. *Seeing an animal injured or in pain doesn’t bother me in the slightest. *Driving fast, riding rollercoasters, and skydiving, appeal to me. *It doesn’t matter to me if I have to step on other people to get what I want. *I’m very persuasive. I have a talent for getting other people to do what I want. *Cheating on your partner is OK so long as you don’t get caught. *I find it easy to keep myself together in situations when others are cracking under pressure. *If I am able to con someone, that’s their problem. They deserve it.

Lateral Thinking: How Many Piano Tuners Are In Chicago?
Convergent (High Stakes Test) Thinking: • There are approximately 5,000,000 people living in Chicago. • On average, there are two persons in each household in Chicago. • Roughly one household in twenty has a piano that is tuned regularly. • Pianos that are tuned regularly are tuned on average about once per year. • It takes a piano tuner about two hours to tune a piano, including travel time. • Each piano tuner works eight hours in a day, five days in a week, and 50 weeks in
a year. • From these assumptions we can compute that the number of piano tunings in a
single year in Chicago is __________. • (5,000,000 persons in Chicago) / (2 persons/household) × (1 piano/20
households) × (1 piano tuning per piano per year) = 125,000 piano tunings per year in Chicago
• And we can similarly calculate that the average piano tuner performs _____ tunings per year.
• (50 weeks/year)×(5 days/week)×(8 hours/day)×(1 piano tuning per 2 hours per piano tuner) = 1000 piano tunings per year per piano tuner.
• So, there are approximately _______ piano tuners in Chicago. • (125,000 piano tuning per year in Chicago) / (1000 piano tunings per year per
piano tuner) = 125 piano tuners in Chicago.
Sit in an appropriate desk or chair – do not sit on a table, do not stand, do not move around when others are speaking.
All conversations pertaining to imprudent or otherwise meaningless frivolities (e.g. dating, games, media, etc.) should not be included during class time.
Do your own, original work at all times and for every test and assignment.
YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention?
Edu-Blogger:
• “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need to remix anything! Educators must teach them to be original, have original thought, and do original work! Imagine if society worked this way.
• We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other people’s work to create your own was ok.
• We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits of the microwave. We’d never have gotten past swing music to experience amazing original works like Elton John’s “The Lion King” or other seminal works…”
Remix, Sample or Steal?
• 1996 - Can You Feel The love Tonight? • Save tonight, fight the break of dawn, come
tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be gone… • You’re beautiful! You’re beautiful! • If I could, then I would, I’ll go wherever you
will go, way up high, or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go…
• Never mind, I’ll find someone like you – I wish nothing but the best for you too…
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1989 - Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray, South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio, Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe…
1989 - Wherever you go – whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you…
1987 - I think we’re alone now, there doesn’t seem to be anyone around…
1984 - We’re not gonna take it, no we ain’t gonna take it – we’re not gonna take it anymore…
Remix, Sample or Steal?
See the stone set in her eyes, see the thorn twist in her side, and I’m waiting for you, with or without you
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1984 - Take on me (YOU: take on me!), Take me up (YOU: take on me!), I’ll be gone
?????
1981 - Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world – she took the midnight train going anywhere
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1976 - On your mark, get set, and go now – gotta dream and we just know now
1970 - When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be
1961 - When the night has come, and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see
1790?!?!?!
