All leaders in 9th grade connections 9:30-10:00 (Seniors come to library from 9-9:30 if you have time)

Here the list of room assignments.

The lesson will involve 3 activities

1. Have students write down questions on a scratch sheet of paper. One leader organizes and reads them while the others set up for the activities.

2. Strategies for success in classes (Fast Fingers) 5-10 minutes then answer 9th grade questions.

3. Overcoming Roadblocks (Paper Airplane) 5-10 minutes, share your examples, then answer 9th grade questions.

Build a paper airplane with a partner.

4. Name activity (for the students that you don't know) Mix up the two groups of 9th graders and play name tag (without the tags).

Here's the link to the activities.

Remember the focus is on STRATEGIES (how to get through classes, what is most important, etc. study schedule, etc. ) and OVERCOMING LIMITATIONS (how to get back on track, where to get support, how to tackle being behind or getting a bad grade)

The materials for the activity (paper airplane paper) will be in 9th grade connection teachers' boxes on Wed.
