1.2- Bell-ringer, Spelling List, Comma Activity

Bell-ringer: Many people make New Year’s Resolutions in an effort to better themselves. Typically, these resolutions are forgotten within the first two weeks of the year because they are too extreme.

Instead of creating a resolution, I want you to choose a focus word for this year. This focus word could be a goal that you want to accomplish like championship (for an athlete) or GPA (for those wanting to better their grades). This focus word could be a skill or activity you want to improve like reading, listening, or dancing. Your focus word could also be a character trait you want to work on like patience, self-control, or honesty.

Write three sentences about what your focus word is, why you chose that word, and what will you do because this is your focus word.
