COURSE OVERVIEW
PART ONE: MAP ASSIGNMENTS
Students complete a series of assignments to create a MAP (My Action Plan).
There are 8 assignments included in creating a MAP:
When you have completed all of these assignments you hand them in to Mr. Meraw or Mrs. Meraw. We will look them over and if they are completed satisfactorily you will meet briefly with one of us to discuss your MAP and to schedule a MAP Presentation appointment. MAP assignments are due by Nov. 19, 2018.
PART THREE: MAP PRESENTATION
Students participate in a MAP PRESENTATION. Students have individual appointments with a panel including at least one teacher and one community member. Typically a grade 11 student also observes the presentation.
MAP PRESENTATIONS last approximately 15 mintues.
3-5 minutes: Personal Introduction
10-12 minutes: Discussion/Conversation (focus areas: Education, Career & Life Plan + Attributes of a Learner)
Remember:
The individual MAP ASSIGNMENTS are not the focus of your MAP PRESENTATION. The individual documents are not necessarily even opened during the MAP PRESENTATION! The presentation is not handing over a binder of worksheets and waiting quietly while the panel reads it. Students will bring the assignments with them to the presentation, but will leave them on the floor or off to the side. The MAP PRESENTATION is a conversation ~ a discussion about you, your Education, Career & Life Plan, and your self-assessment of the Attributes of a Learner.
