Good Morning!

1. Warm-up:
   1. Think of a place at least three miles from here. Don’t say it out loud to anyone around you. It should not be a place that you regularly go (home, Dutch Bros., etc.). Write directions to that place, using no names of streets, landmarks or the destination. You may use distances. You must describe any turns or movements in space using only the cardinal directions (North, South, East and West). For example: You cannot say, when you arrive at the destination, “the destination is right in front of you.” You should say something like, “The destination is about 50 feet directly to the north of where you stand.”
   2. Switch directions with someone. You will both try to figure out what and where the destination is. No guessing. You get only 2 tries. How close did you get?
2. Read “Does Your Language Shape How You Think?” When you have finished, discus and record responses to the following questions with a partner.
   1. What habits of mind may develop based on YOUR language?
   2. How does language constrain our perception?
   3. How would your conversations change if you had to give justification for everything you say?
