Blog #4

You will write a 2-page (double-spaced) Journal entry from the perspective
of your mentor. Imagine you are your mentor and you are entering thoughts
into a journal entry about your new intern (this would be you).

Try to imagine what goes through his/her mind through the course of the
entire day observing you work.
-What do you think goes through your mentor's mind as you walked in to work
this past Wednesday?
-What things about you do you think impresses your mentor?
-What things about you do you think you mentor isn't impressed by?
-What things about you do you think your mentor wants to learn from you?
-What stories about you do you think your mentor tells about you to friends,
colleagues and family. Tell those stories.

Journal Entry #2

As some of you are still going through the process of finding a placement and there are others of you who have been placed, please reflect on the process so far in preparing for the WLE by addressing the following prompts in a 2 page (double-spaced) reflection. Please write your reflection in a Word Document, saving it under a filename on the server, such as "lucaswadewle.doc".

What has been difficult? What has surprised you? What have you learned?

What are you excited for? What are you most uncertain of right now?

What advice would you give to the 11th grade students next year?

What do you hope to learn from your internship?

Journal Entry #3

Journal Entry #3:

2 page reflective entry:
Take a moment to think back over your WLE day this week…what was it like? What happened? What did you take away from the experience?

If you get stuck, consider some of the following questions:
· What value or purpose did what I did today serve (for me personally, for school, for my site)?
· What did I learn about others? What did I learn about my self? What did I observe (self, world, others)?
· Is what I am doing valuable? How do I know? Is it meaningful work?
· What questions do I have?
· How has my experience at WLE changed my perception of what is possible out a ‘school’ experience?
