Agenda Items: Week Three
Day One:
1. Make sure your Letter to the Counselor is polished and ready. Before the end of September is finished, please personally spend time actively counseling with your counselor. One of the GREATEST things you can do during this meeting is to show engagement and to actively document / record / take notes on what you learn.
Later, when you get to your essay's descriptive section, you can do things like this:
Gemma Williams, a counselor I met at the Maida Kamber center, indicating the following to me: "For now, you might like to A) __________; B) __________, and C) ____________ regarding your major." Based on what my counselor stated, I would like to actively......
If your grade is hovering at a 70C- or lower, you may want to use Office Hours or Emergency Study Hall at the Study Hub.
2. Go over salary templates

Establish your baseline salary.
3. I want to see a working OUTLINE for your Career Essay first draft by the end of class.
By now, you should have many things established for this essay:
1. A sense of salary
2. A sense of a descriptive scene that highlights your skill/passion/roadblocks
3. A personal sense of why you wanted to be in this career or another career.
If you do not have those elements, work on building those in.
Those of you who are proceeding at a nice pace, start writing the damn thing so that you have less stress later.
Day Two:
1. Finish Verbals Practicum Exercise.
2. Thesis Lecture. Also available, here, in case you missed it. No excuses!
3. Thesis Fixer-Uppers. (Groups)
4. Show me 5 different thesis statements for the Career Essay. After you print it out, circle your best TWO.
