Topic: Obtaining advice from them for underclassmen
Objective: Students will share words of advice to be shared with underclassmen.
Materials:
- Advice Cards - you can use paper, cardstock or other cards to do this (can be found under mailboxes)
Procedures:
- Students will write a note or two of advice to students in 9th grade. They may write to a specific student, or to a 9th grader, in general.
- Show examples (below), if needed.
- Pass out cards. Students can write more than one. Please have students sign them. This makes them more personal.
- Collect cards. Read them to ensure appropriateness after Connections is over.

Sample Advice Notes
- Go to school! I missed a lot my 9th & 10th grade year and it set me back with my credits.
- Take college classes! I am graduating with 12 college credits for free! That’s a whole semester.
- Go out for activities! It’s how you get to know more people and it makes school more fun.
- Don’t choose classes just because your friends are in them. Take classes you have interest in.
- If you fail a class, make sure to make it up right away so you can stay on track for graduation.
- Try Mock Trial! It’s so fun and you learn a lot.
