2. Have the seniors introduce themselves and sit in a panel in front of the class.
3. The seniors will talk about their experience with grades both bad and good and the impact they have had on GPA and post secondary plans.
4. Seniors will talk about how their attitudes have changed about school from their freshman year and what they would have done differently if they knew then, what they know now.
5. Use these “prompters” if students have trouble brainstorming questions to ask seniors:
§ What is one thing you wish you would have done differently in HS?
§ What were your favorite activities that you participated in during HS?
§ Are volunteer hours important?
§ What are you most proud of during HS?
§ How does your GPA affect you now?
§ What steps do we need to take to plan for college?
§ What advice do you wish you would have followed when you were a freshman?
