How to Paper Reflection

My initial thought on this paper were that it was going to be a little bit easier than the ones we have done in the past just because it had so many different ways to write. When we first got into our groups we needed to decide which format we would use for this paper.
To come up with our topic we all brainstormed different ideas. After that, we all shared our ideas and picked what we thought was the best ones. We did not come across any real obstacles because we all worked very well together and came to a consensus. It was very easy for us to come up with many different things to list in our paper. Our topic was senior skip days so we all had different fantasies about how to spend our senior skip day. The list of different things you could do on a senior skip day was easy for us to make. we had a huge list of things in the beginning but had to narrow it down. It was also easy for us to explain what a good senior skip day consists of.
We would like to make revisions on the conclusion to wrap the whole paper up and bring it together. Maybe add a story about a former senior and how they spent their senior skip day. Also we need to add more to our explanations and add a few photos.

How to Utilize Your Senior Skip Day
Senior skip day is a day in which seniors don’t go to any of their classes and instead enjoy a day of leisure and fun. It’s a tradition most commonly seen in Canadian and American high schools. On this day the whole senior classes excuse themselves from school and do things. Popular skip days have been known to fall on Halloween, April 20Th and May 5Th. On this particular day someone can do a countless number of things, and it should be something exciting. So this paper is a guide to help you utilize your day off from school productively.

Steps to plan a senior skip day so that it actually works
Many times in high school a bunch of seniors may randomly decide to skip school and tell a couple of people, hoping it will get out and other seniors will get the memo. However this is not always effective, and many times only a handful of kids actually end up hearing about it. If it’s not planned and thought out it wont’ happen. In some cases being spontaneous is alright, but in this case it isn’t a good idea. We thought up some ways that you can be sure that this day will happen. Some ideas are listed below.
• Make a Facebook group
• Text every senior in your contacts
• Make an announcement in the commons during free
• Get a teacher to agree on the date so they can pass it on to all their senior students
• Talk an administrator into going on the intercom or morning announcements to broadcast the date

The wrong way to spend your senior skip day
When given the privileged not to attend school there are certain things you should not do. It’s you day off, so you should be having fun and not be boring. Many people look at this day as a way to catch up on sleep or do an essay that’s due the next day, but this is not a good idea. On your day off you should take advantage of the opportunity and not do the following listed below.
• sleep
• do homework
• go to school
• work
• clean
• not hang out with people
• get arrested
• drive your siblings to school
• Get caught

The correct way to spend your senior skip day

As stated in the previous paragraph your senior skip day should not be boring. If senior skip day is on a Friday the following would work out better because an extended weekend means more time to enjoy your day off. Some ideas on how to accomplish this are listed below.

• Road trip
• Go to the beach
• Do something unoriginal
• Go to a baseball game
• Steal your friends dad’s car
• Not getting arrested
