Mock Interview Competition Week!

OK everyone.  I've always been one to post extremely buttoned-up blog, but there's so much intricacy to what we have to do in class this week.  Please see below for my simple outline:

Monday – students send me anything they want printed in color via Drop Box AND put everything in their portfolio

Tuesday – students fill out their own appointment cards and turn them in for a grade, students finalize their portfolio by putting in all other stuff (letters of recommendation, report cards, assignments from other classes, awards, certificates, etc.) and submit for a grade, students practice interview questions in front of the class for a grade

Wednesday – students put their appointment cards in plastic badge holder and go over everything for Thursday, students practice interview questions in front of the class for a grade

Thursday – interview day – if they’ve finished their interview before they get to class, they’ll complete a reflection assignment.  If not, they’ll write about how they think they’ll do.

Friday – interview any students who failed to interview on Thursday, review the good, the bad, and the ugly of the interview (students share out how it went)

Of course, we'll have to discuss the particulars, but each day will be extremely busy from bell to bell.  Please make use of every minute and be as prepared as you can for your interviews on Thursday.  Each of you will be interviewing with a very important person in this community, whether it's our superintendent, County Mayor, or President of the County's Economic Development Council.  That said, it is imperative that you shine, so we'll be practicing answering these questions a whole lot.

See you all in class!
