Interview Time

It is almost time to start our formal interview process - in the next few days, we will start making time to talk about your progress this term.  Your blog should be part of the process, something that you can use to track the activities we have done as well as your thoughts and feelings about the class.

This is an opportunity for you to organize your thoughts - what do you want me to know about how you are doing so far?  When have you worked the hardest?  How are you motivated to participate?  What have been the most powerful experiences for you and why? 

Sometimes the interview process is difficult for students - talking one on one with an adult and trying to express yourself can be difficult.  At the same time, it is a skill that can improve with practice, and this is a perfect time to prepare and make improvements.  Prepare by creating a blog post that includes the information that you want to communicate to me.  I find interview time very rewarding, I love having the chance to really listen to what is important you each of you.  I'm really looking forward to getting them started!
