GATHERING: Stuffed Toy Toss - Share one of your favorite artifacts or things you learned in a class this semester!
INTRO TO COURSE SELECTION/CREDIT CHECKS: Today we are going to be choosing classes for the fall semester of next year! It is important that we look at what classes you already took and need to take in order to make this effective.
WHOLE GROUP: After town hall, while the other grade level is doing course selection, you will have some free time. During this time, we are tasked with making an Advisory Flag that represents our group! This will be presented on the last day and we will carry it with us as we go to King’s Park. The flag should follow the “Color, Symbol, Image” Thinking Routine guidelines. Before we go to town hall, let’s brainstorm…
TRANSITION TO TOWN HALL: We are going to a town hall to review expectations for students regarding course selection as well as other opportunities you may want to consider. After the town hall, we will meet with each of you to schedule classes! 8:45 - 9:30 TOWN HALL - Presentation Link 9:30 - 11:00
Independent: Now that we have reviewed requirements and options for your future courses, use the Credit Check you completed before town hall and continue with the following steps…
One-on-One Conferencing: I will go around to each student and verify that your classes meet your needs. Once we agree, we will fill out the course selection form. We will also review your choices with parents at your PoL. Dan & Addie Advisory Plans (11th Graders Only) Independent: Now that we have reviewed requirements and options for your future courses, use the Credit Check you completed before town hall and continue with the following steps…
