6. Who could mentor me? And what, specifically, will they help me with?
To be perfectly honest, I don’t really know who could mentor me. I know people who
might be able to help me but to be my direct mentor. So far, I have Tamara Farnsworth
as a possible mentor, but I’d also like to ask Dr. Chen and Cecile Powell.
7. My final project is due the week of November 29th. What’s a general timeline of
what needs to be done by when?
Display this in whatever way makes sense to you. Use a calendar, make a list with
dates, create a visual timeline, etc. Just make sure that you have due dates assigned to
each step.
*I often find it helps to work backward from the last step–the Final Project
Presentation–to the first.
Your timeline should be specific and include ALL of the major steps in your project, which
may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Dates to make appointments to meet with mentors
- Actual meetings with mentors
- Deadlines for pre- and post-surveys and/or assessments
- Completion dates for hands-on, building projects
- Dates to acquire materials
- Deadlines for developing classroom lessons and deadlines for delivering classroom lessons
- Publishing dates for YouTube episodes
- Dates to reach out to community organizations
-progress presentations (week of 9/19 and week of 11/14)
