As you read, listen, and/or watch, we will use the Connect-Extend-Challenge protocol to anchor our Pre-Planning Summer Learning discussions.  Use Post-it Notes or jot in your book/journal to think through the following:

• • How do these ideas connect to what you already know?
  • What new ideas are you gaining that extend or push your thinking in new directions?
  • What ideas challenge you or are confusing to get your mind around? What questions, wonderings, or tensions do you now have?

For Pre-Planning, what are the 3 most important aha’s or takeaways that you would share with others from your selected book/TED talks/MasterClass?
