Four Quadrants

Questions:

What did we just do?

How did you feel when students put tasks in different quadrants than you?

Do you feel it could have gone into another quadrant?

If you only continuously do things in quadrant 1 what might happen and why?

Which quadrant(s) could you focus on minimizing? Why?

During which tasks do you feel the most emotionally and physically balanced?
