Journals

You are required to keep a weekly journal that needs to be handed in __during class__ on the Friday AFTER you mentor. The following questions should be answered: 1. What activities did you do today? 2. What techniques seem to work best for the students? 3. What did not work? What can be improved for next time? 4. How are you dealing with issues that arise? 5. How do you think the children responded to the activities and yourself? 6. How did your group members work together? 7. Any additional comments or suggestions? * Please put time into your journals and write it as soon as possible after mentoring so that your ideas and thoughts are still fresh in your mind. You are encouraged to be as critical and specific as possible so that we can improve techniques and address important issues. This is also a tool to help each of us become more prepared if we come across a similar experience. The journals do not need to be in essay format, you can just answer the questions in as much space as you need in complete sentences. 0 - Journal is missing. 1 - Unacceptable.
