Diagram Your Day


https://www.lucidchart.com/documents/demo - create a diagram or flowchart of your day, what you do, decisions you might have, detail it however you like.

Your day could mean a school day, then put details like which class goes first, next, etc.
-Dont' just say period 1, period2, period 3 etc. because those are not your actual details of your day, those are are placeholders, put the actual course name or teacher, how you actually associate as the thing you go to next, such as, Math > PE > Music > Mr. Anderson > Ms.  Nelson, etc...
Or your day could mean a weekend or holiday where you put things you expect or want to do with details and information.

BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE DIAGRAM, share the link with me by pasting it as a comment to this blog posting along with your name.
