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.

No Question!!

There will be no question today in honor of the holiday break coming up. If you have not done discussion question 1 or 2, please do them now! I will not count them as late until after the holiday break.

Discussion Question 2

If you have been in peer tutoring previously, you will have a different question than those that are in peer tutoring for the first time.
First Time Peer Tutors:
Choose a student, describe them including the way they communicate, the things that they like, and specific personality characteristics.

Advanced Peer Tutors: We have decided to give you a different, trimester long assignment to take the place of the pamphlet and paper. Choose one and discuss and ask questions. Here are some of your choices,
Create a glog for student use, and keep it updated.
Create 8-10 original books-similar to calendar books.
Create Activities using Classroom Suite (we will provide Training)
Create personalized books for 5 students. This will include taking pictures of students throughout the trimester, writing stories for them to read on subjects and topics they are interested in. A colorful, creative, exciting book for an individual student!
If you have an idea, or proposal, please let us know! We will consider all ideas. :)
