On Monday, watched this clip from the movie "Facing the Giants". Students were asked to use one "character" word to describe the scene. Words like determination, effort, tenacity and perseverance surfaced from our conversation. As a teacher, I was also reminded of the importance and impact of encouragement. Students, please include your chosen quote in the comments! Let's collect quotes that inspire us towards greater determination!
