Stephen R. CoveyA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use this activity to engage all types of learners, while requiring that they refer to and incorporate details from the text over the course of the activity.
“Create a Time Management Matrix”
Referring closely to the original text, students will create a Four-Quadrant Matrix, fill it with activities, and role-play the outcomes of those activities.
In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey recommends using a quadrant approach to sort activities that are important and not important, urgent and not urgent. Working in a group of 3-5 peers, create a Four-Quadrant Matrix and fill each quadrant with activities based on suggestions from your classmates.
Then, design a role-play exercise in which participants illustrate the benefits or drawbacks of spending their time in each quadrant based on the activities listed there.
Teaching Suggestion: Rather than sticking closely to the matrix examples provided by Covey in Chapter 5, it might be worthwhile to encourage students to draw sample activities from their own lives.
