You don't need computers today!

Tonight I am going to update Zangle and get some new grades in to go on your progress report you'll get Friday.

Going to practice the sample questions out loud.

1. Count off 1 to 5. Circle up desks in your groups and get out a piece of paper each. 
2. One person should be answering at a time. Get two minutes and need to talk the whole time. 
3. Another person in the group decides which question to ask and then takes notes on their answer. 
4. Notetaker gives feedback for one minute and grades the person with a 1, 2, or 3. One minute for other group members to give feedback and rating too.  
5. People to the left of those that just went now answer/take notes.

Panel questions - After the student finishes their delivery of the oral presentation – the panelists will ask questions. These may be clarification of something talked about, something from the portfolio or other questions typically asked in interviews for jobs. Below are some sample questions the student may be asked:

• If you were to come back next year, what advice would you give to an in-coming 9th grader?
• In which class were you required to "think" the most? Why?
• What extracurricular activities are you planning on getting involved in after high school?
• Do you feel prepared for what you plan to do next year?
• What was one major problem did you encounter during your time at PLHS and how did you deal with it?
• Reflecting back over your four years at PLHS, what would you have done differently?
• If you had the power to change one thing at PLHS for next year, what would it be and why?
• If you had two extra hours in your day, how would you spend your time?
• Do you feel it is important to register to vote? Explain your answer?
• Do you feel that good attendance and being on time is an important "skill?" Explain your answer.
