You show up to class and realize that you left your homework on the table last night. What do you do?
You come to class and realize that you made a mistake: the essay you thought was due next class was actually due this morning. What do you do?
You’ve tried, and tried, but whatever it is we’re learning in class, you are for sure not getting it. You’ve already tried asking Ms. Hessler questions a couple of times. What do you do?
Ms. Hessler was nice enough to put you and your friend next to each other in the seating chart. The problem is that you just found out for a fact that your “friend” has been spreading serious lies about you and posting a ton of stuff making fun of you on a different social media account. When you confronted them about it, they denied everything. Being around them makes you really uncomfortable. What do you do?
Ms. Hessler tells the class to take out pens and notebooks, since you’re going to take a few notes. You open your bag and realize that you actually forgot both at home. What do you do?
After working on our essays for a week, it’s time to move into peer feedback. You read through your classmate’s essay, and it is bad. I mean really, really bad. Like, however bad you’re thinking it is right now, it’s twice as bad as that. What do you do?

We’re about two thirds of the way through the quarter, and you’re wondering if there’s anything you can do to bring your grade up. What do you do?
