Being able to prioritize activities is a valuable skill - think about and respond to the following:
Mrs. Fries is on the phone in the library office and will obviously be tied up for some time. Ms. Hulten has stepped out of the library to meet with a teacher upstairs. You are at the circulation desk, "in charge".
How would you handle the situation outlined below. Which tasks would you do first? In what order would you do them. What might you do to make some of these items "non-issues"?
Student A is in a rush, and wants to use the copy machine.
Teacher B brings up a dozen books she want checked out to use next period.
Student C wants to borrow a pair of scissors.
Principal D walks into the LMC and asks for a particular student.
Student E needs the bathroom unlocked.
Teacher F phones and wants to know if the LMC is booked for next period.
Student G tells you the printer is out of paper.
Requirements:
Respond thoughtfully to the situation as asked above.
Read each other's responses and ask questions of each other.
While there is no "right" answer, I would like you to come to an agreement as to how to respond to and why you would prioritize and deal with these situations the way you've decided.
Submit to me ONE answer that you have developed together (jhulten@wallingford.k12.ct.us) . But REMEMBER I want to see the evolution of your thoughts on the discussion page.
GRADING: A shared grade for the final answer. Individual grades for the thoughtfulness of the responses, the analysis of the situation, and how well you've applied the four (4) objectives set out in the syllabus.
