Character Counts

For today's activity you will need to do a little research and find out about Canadian figure skater Joannie Rochette. Use google and read one or two newspaper sources to find out her story.

1. Who is Joannie Rochette?

2. Why are the media giving her so much attention this week?

3. How successful are you at putting your personal life on hold before coming to class or starting a shift at work? Use details.

4. What do you think of Joannie Rochette's story? How extraordinary do you think she is?

5. Explain whether hearing about how she managed to give her best effort so soon after her personal tragedy inspires you. Why or why not?
