Over the course of the semester, you will be getting to know your buddy, observing their strengths and
weaknesses, and interacting with them. You will be responsible for reflecting on your visit with your buddy
from time to time, which will also help you with your inquiry project.

Your reflection must be in paragraph format and a minimum of 1.5 pages double spaced. Once you are
finished each reflection, you will post it to your blog. Your reflection will need to be broken up into several
smaller paragraphs with explanations and reasoning behind your answers.
