IDEA WALL

Start an "internship" program at your

school! Post a list of internships, such as

assistant coaching, designing bulletin boards

or newsletters, etc. Students apply for the

internship, and when their term expires,

outgoing interns train the incoming.

Students create rules and

guidelines for a middle school

student-run organization.

Study Abroad Day! Students bring in a treat, music

or photos to share of their Study Abroad “experience.”

Add the terms

from Lesson 9

What Does That Mean to the

Word Wall.

Explore internships:

Blog or debate…

CIA? Professional sports

team? Apple? White House?

Fashion Magazine? If you

could intern with any business

would it be, and why?

Model your middle school's

student organizations after college

organizations. Include academic,

political, recreational, cultural,

etc. opportunities for your

students. Encourage students to

step outside their comfort zone,

and participate in a club that

would not normally appeal to

them. Don’t forget Club Rush Day!
