Write a one-page reflection on what you did this week (4/9) at your internship. It needs to be creative and interesting for teachers and mentors to read. we do not want to know how long you sat at a desk or what you ate for lunch. (you should be able to write a one page reflection with out questions given how much you do this at CAT).

As your teachers have gone for visits to the various workplace sites of students, we have seen students doing work that relates to a bigger picture or larger task that will benefit the workplace or the company.
Please describe in detail the work that you have currently been engaged in and how that work relates to the larger whole of the workplace you are currently involved with.
In addition, have you decided on a project for your WLE? If so, please describe what your plan is for your final project. If you have not thought about a project, please explain what possibilities exist and which one(s) interest you the most.
Finally, having a theme or essential question will help you bring your project together. What would you say is the theme of your internship so far?

Blog #4- February 2008
Imagine you are your mentor and you are journaling about your new intern. Try to imagine what goes through your mentor's mind over the course of the entire day as you work.
--What do you think went through your mentor's mind as your walked in to work this past Wednesday?
--What things about you do you think impress your mentor?
--What things about you do you think your mentor isn't impressed by?
--What things about you do you think your mentor wants to teach you and what they want to learn from you?
--What stories about you do you think your mentor tells about you to friends, colleagues and family? Tell these stories.
Your response should be thorough, spell-checked and at least 500 words.
(If you want some help look at Blog #4 from last year, Kaid's Blog is great!)
