Dear FGCS Families:
Nine of our high school (Level 4) students are currently working on a
variety of projects in their "Self-Directed Learning" (SDL) class.
They
have reached the point in their process where adult mentors are
needed to assist, review and support their work. This will be the
first time many of these freshmen and sophmores will have an outside
expert adult act as a support in their learning efforts. Details of
the mentoring relationship will be negotiated by the mentor and
student, with teacher guidance as needed.
Would you look through the list of goals and projects below and see if
you know of people who could be helpful to our student-researchers? We
would appreciate any relevant materials you might have, as well.
--Repairing a Honda/mechanics
--Creating a scrapbook about horse breeds for our school library
--Photographing nature and extreme sports for display and sale
--Developing a photo-menu of healthful snacks for publication/use
at Pacific Univ.
--Completing and publishing a novel
--Increasing skills in reading, writing and speaking Hebrew
--Increasing skills in drawing human figures and hands for art
portfolio/display
--Creating/publishing a complete animated story for a showing
--Increasing skills in rock band drumming for a show
Each student will be responsible for a presentation in January (end of
semester) before an audience of her/his choice, to include the
principal, teacher and mentor.
If you have suggestions or questions, please contact SDL teacher Robin
Lindsley at r.lindsley@fgcschool.org. Thank you for your help!
