Habit 6: A Holiday Spin

I stumbled upon this great book the other day and it was just what I was looking for to help me review Synergize. What makes it so great is that it's got a Holiday feel to it, so it was perfect for this time of year. When I teach Synergize, I feel it's really important that the students understand that we all have different abilities and that using all of our special abilities together makes for a more fabulous result. Here's the lesson plan with guiding questions. ENJOY!
