Norm Setting|Establish studio time expectations (10 minutes) We have a writing task in Advisory this morning. It requires studio time. When you are working, what are the things that help you focus? What distracts you? What should our studio time look like? What can you do when you finish your work if other students are still working? Letter Writing|(10 min. discussion + 30 min studio time) Discuss: When was the last time that you wrote a letter to someone? (NOT an email. An actual letter.) How is writing a letter different than writing an email or texting? What situations call for a letter instead? Studio Time|Write a letter to your advisor to introduce yourself. There is a template for anyone who needs one. Meet and Greet: Everyone at the door.
