Discussion Question 3

Welcome back! Please take until Monday night to complete this Blog, sorry it's up so late!

Advanced Peer tutors: I think that all of you have chosen to write books for a student. To make sure that there are no doubles, please tell me who you are going to write for and brainstorm a list of topics that your student would be interested in writing about. REMEMBER: you do not have to do the brochure/pamphlet.

Beginning peer tutors: Your brochure is due next week. What disability are you working on? Remember that you need visuals as well as information. Think about a brochure that you get at the dr.'s office, or a brochure to take a trip somewhere, it's very eye catching! You do not need to use a computer to complete this project.
So! I want you to respond to this blog with the topic you want to do, and 2 sentences (minimum) about the topic, and why you chose the topic.
