Create a Personal Profile
With many Colleges now not requiring the SAT, there will be an increased emphasis on extra curricular activities. Creating a personal profile can help us identify the kinds of experiences we would like to seek outside of school.
How could we all benefit from knowing our collective interests, skills, talents and areas for growth?
Use the questions provided on the google classroom document or add additional questions.
Interview a Partner
Ask the initial questions, listen for answers, ask for more information, and take notes.
Brainstorm what can be said if a response to a question is, “I don’t know". For example, further questions may assist, such as: “What do you do on weekends?”; “What’s the first thing you do after school?”; “What do you wish you were better at?”
Explore their partner’s interests, skills, talents and areas for growth using the key questions and then extension questions. Each partner is interviewed for 5 minutes. Then switch.
Share-Out
Construct a master list of interests, skills, talents and areas for growth. Each student will share one item about his or her partner. Responses will be recorded below
How is knowing these items about others helpful for everyone? How can students be a resource for their peers?
