Alternative Youth @ Risk

Due date: Wednesday October 31st

Please follow these guidelines to respond to Susan Winterbourne's talk last week:

1. Review notes I made here Youth @ Risk [& your own if you took any]
2. Think about a significant incident that you witnessed either in your school placement or one that stuck with you from previous experience, & Map it out using the criteria Susan presented in her 'John" example [e.g. Situation, Student's Action/Behavior,  Student's Thoughts/Feelings, Consequences]. Note how you might have handled the situation differently.
3. How do you respond to Susan's ship metaphor? [i.e. we cant throw anyone overboard but must find a way to build relationship with the student & keep him/her in class/school]
Post your response as a Comment to this note.

Due next class

Bonjour tout le monde!
Please use the class time for today to work through this week's page/topic @Risk: Poverty You'll need to create a Google Doc for your KWL, and include the link below in a comment  so that I can more readily access and input on your work. Also, don't forget to give me access to view and edit your G-Doc at azboudreau@gmail.com

I have given you until next week to finish this, but note that next week I will also be asking for an update on your Inquiry Study. For this please complete as much as you can of the template that I pasted into your document the week before last [or whichever alternative template format you decided on]. Just email if you have questions before then. I will be checking it occasionally but am back next week.

Hope your week is going well. As they say here in Quebec - Salut!
