Who Moved My Cheese

While thinking about goal setting and responsibility in the beginning of the year, show the video, "Who Moved My Cheese?" Click this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Xm34WfuQQ&feature=related  It is 8 minutes long, but covers the entire book. You may want to use the video below if your class would like to use it as a summary or review fo the full length one.
 After viewing the video, do the following:

Option One
   Simply discuss the video or have students write their own review and reaction. You could then   share their thoughts.

Option Two
   Use these questions to generate discussion

• ask what their "cheese" is. Maybe it has something to do with sports, friends, or college? Is everyone's cheese differant?
• what does the "handwriting on the wall" mean to them?
• using the handwriting on the wall, ask how they can draw up a planfor students to find their own cheese

Extention

• give students a triangle of yellow paper
• have them decorate their "cheese" to represent what it means to them
• create a bulletin board with the cheese and the handwriting on the wall

If you do not have time for the full 8 minute video you may use this very abbreviated version, or use it as a recap!
