Productivity Tip: Sometimes, when you find yourself needing to catch up on your work and tempted to pull an
all-nighter, don’t! Brain research says that lack of sleep can have serious health repercussions. Sleep helps your
brain sort through information and keep information in long term memory. So make sure you sleep instead of

D. ENRICHMENT ACTIVITY
Activity 5: Self-reflection
Read the situation and write your answer on the space provided.

Casey attended a lesson. She desired to develop her poetry-writing skills. She aspired to be
an author. She listened in silence while sitting among the other students, seeming to understand
what was being said. She pretended to be thoughtful by nodding occasionally and muttering,
Mm-hmm, in a controlled voice. She was having a tremendously difficult time writing what was on
her mind as she tried to decipher what her teacher was saying. What do you believe Casey needs
to do to improve her writing?
