Students will identify their personal responsibilities in order to make the program work for them. They will be required to review that list on a regular basis. Students introduce themselves to mentors by giving the mentors pertinent information about their personal life and school. Students and mentors engage in a dialog that attempts to identify the student's interests. The student and the mentor explore the web for additional information and share their search results with each other.
Students find mentor's suggested sites and provide feedback on their quality, helpfulness, etc.
The object is to follow their dreams, but use critical thinking skills in the process. Students will maintain binders of all communications and checkpoints. They will also save electronically all of the above. A log will be maintained that shows all communications sent and received with dates and times. The teacher and the mentor will meet individually to discuss their progress and any concerns as they turn in each checkpoint.
