To help with today's work, we'll use the blog to guide our steps. First we'll break into groups, then assign roles:

• Mental Resilience Coaches (Ch. 5–8): How does Brian’s mindset change? Create a "survival pep talk." (A pep talk is supposed to be encouraging and supportive. It's meant to put people in tough times into a better mood about themselves).
• Think about the encouragement his teacher had given him.
• Think about Brian's realizations after facing a difficult problem (Porcupine)

After, find 3 key quotes/passages related to the topic. Once you have this, it's time to evaluate Brian's approach to his mental resilience. How does Brian's ability to reflect on his challenges helping him to survive?
