Tutorials

Reflection How many people presented in your

group today? What subjects were discussed?

What goal do you think your group should focus on for the next tutorial?

Pick up five post it notes for after intermission activity.

Self Reflection – 5 minutes On each Post-it note write one fear you have

about applying to, being accepted to, or attending college.

Examples of fears may include the following: I don’t know if I can afford it. I’m afraid to move away from home. I’m afraid I won’t be accepted. I am an undocumented student and don’t want to get

my parents in trouble. I’m worried I won’t fit in there.

When you are finished, fold up your post it and I will be by to pick your fears up.
