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.

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. :)
