Block 4: Thursday's Assignment

Welcome to our College Comp blog. This will work for both third and fourth blocks.  I'll simply use specific entries for each section of the class. So be sure to read the post title to make sure you're responding in the correct area.

Thanks.

For the start of class, watch this video and leave two pieces of feedback. First, list a barrier (or "circle of constraint") that Caine must overcome in order to find his Element. Then explain how he overcame it.
Second, find a connection in the video to a concept from a previous chapter in The Element (this could be Caine finding his tribe, having an epiphany moment, being in the zone, and so on) and explain the connection.

Note - you will need to register with Blogger in order to leave feedback. Some of you may already have done this.
