Seminar

Just a reminder: there will be a mandatory seminar on March 10 (11th for 4th period).

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Due to the snow day, we need to reschedule our seminar that was supposed to be today for next Tuesday February 3rd. We will then be discussing display boards and 3rd quarter review boards as well as other 3rd quarter deadlines.
See everyone then! Enjoy the snow day.

Leadership

December due dates

Attention Mentorship students.
There has been some recent confusion regarding seminars and due dates. Here is a breakdown of what needs to be done:

- By Dec. 1st you should have emailed your mentor about your online portfolio. You must ask them to review it (most specifically your journals) and have them email you back with their comments. This email conversation does not have to be submitted to Mr. Ashcraft, but must be present on your portfolio by the 9th. It will be a grade.

-Dec. 9th is our seminar on the paper outline. You must have your outline finished by this date. Bring it with you.

-You should have 32 annotated bibs finished.

-Dec. 15: email Mr. Ashcraft a picture of you and your mentor on site.

Writing committee and Recruiting committee meets tomorrow after school in the Media Center. Don't forget that Wednesday Dec. 3 at 7:00pm is our information night. It would be very helpful if you could attend to market the program.

That's it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Leadership or Writing committee (if your issue involves the paper.) Good luck!

Mr. A out of town

Mr. Ashcraft will be out of town for the remainder of the week. Any questions or concerns regarding your thesis or anything in general should be forwarded to either Leadership or Writing Committee.

Thanks.

Seminar Thursday 11/20

For Thursday's seminar, everyone should come prepared with either: a written thesis OR a written statement of what your research paper will be on. We understand that not everyone is at that point in their project yet, but second quarter is progressing and it is time to start focusing on the paper. Your thesis can be very rough. Editing it and creating the paper outline will be the main focus of the seminar.
If you have any concerns, check the Links portion of the site and refer to your research scavenger hunt.

Thanks!

Due Date Issue

Attention Mentorship Students:

Given the recent panic regarding first quarter due dates, Leadership has come to an executive decision to address this issue. We feel as if there is no need to panic although you have known about these due dates for quite a while. At the same time, we don't want to have the due dates enforced by the fear of getting a failing grade. The decision we have arrived at is to come up with a better way to remind you of the due dates so this does not happen again. In the seminar next week, come prepared to discuss possible ways to help enforce deadlines and also come prepared with possible repercussions people will face if they fail to meet their deadlines again.

Any first quarter materials have had their due date extended to Tuesday October 21 by 3:00 PM.

The program requires that you submit all of your information to your Student Portfolio. If this is a problem, e-mail these papers to Mr. Ashcraft. Only use hard copies as a last resort for when the website is down or when Mr. Ashcraft is having a problem with your e-mails. For those of you that don't know, the mentor evaluations can be found on the resources page under forms.

-Leadership

p.s.: Mr. Ashcraft isn't mad at anyone. Don't worry about getting yelled at or having your grade lowered or anything like that.
