Here is a list of items you will want to cover when first meeting your students (During your Prep Period: May 5th-9th):

1. Review overall Graduation Project, the Web Site info and why they HAVE to do this to graduate.
2. Four P's (Paper, Product, Portfolio and Presentation)
3. 2010 KHS Graduates Timeline (on the web site)
4. * Items they need to do NOW (and complete before they go on SUMMER BREAK)
5. EXPLAIN the "Central Question Development" handout - to start them thinking and deciding.
6. Collect contact information (student e-mail addresses)

* The following are those items due before JUNE (and must be SAVED for their PORTFOLIO)

• "Starting Out" Journal Entry
• Top 5 Intrest Topics Form
• "What I Want to Learn / Your Final Topic Choice" Journal Entry

TIPS TO HELP YOU:

1. Go on SAM and find out what class they have during your PREP PERIOD (That's when you'll meet them)
2. Print out a "Student List" form and write down thier e-mail contact info and meeting time
3. Contact the students that have e-mail addresses ahead of time, so that they can prepare for the meeting by looking at: the Web Site and have questions ready. (If you feel really good, send a letter for those students you'll be meeting if you don't have an e-mail address. Drop that letter in the mailbox of the teacher during the period you'll be meeting your students.)
4. CREATE PRINTOUT PACKETS of the items due in June (I've placed links to those items above*). Include a TIMELINE COPY for them.
5. Place those items in a folder that has their name on it.
6. HERE ARE two forms to download to make passes for your students:
