Our current unit this quarter in Language Arts is called "Risky Behaviors". We have been looking at people that choose to take risks either because of their work or for their entertainment. We have read about mountain climbing, being an astronaut, BMX rider, or skateboarder, whale watching, and a variety of other behaviors that require folks to take risks.
But we also take risks everyday without having to have some crazy job or practicing an extreme sport. Sometimes just stepping outside our front door requires us to take a number of risks. We weigh the costs and benefits, and decide how to respond. For example, I might get run over by a car on my way to work, but if I don't take a risk and walk to work then I won't be able to make a living and support my family. My students might laugh at me when I start talking in class, but if I don't take a risk and start talking in front of all of them then they won't really learn much.
Think about the risks you take on a regular basis, or have taken in the past. In the comments section below, leave a comment describing a risk you have taken. What were the costs and benefits of those risks?
Remember to write your initials after your comment, so I know who to give credit for the comment.
