Expectations
I have to use the bathroom - what do I do?
Raise your hand quietly and WAIT to be called on
Phase 3
Connecting Thinking
What days do we do tutorials?
Wednesday and Thursday
I need to do a TRF for Tutorials - what do I do?
Grab one from the drawer and complete it.
How long should the introduction of the TRF take?
I need a pencil - what do I do?
Grab a pencil from the pencil cup on my desk - if empty, ask a friend
Phase 5
Applying your Learning
I was absent for the tutorial days and did not present my TRF - what do I do?
Let the teacher know and turn in the TRF for credit.
I don't have a point of confusion for any class - what do I do?
Find a question from the SAT practice website OR take a question from the TRF bowl
When do I start writing my show/tell on the board?
AFTER my 60-second speech
I don't understand the work - what do I do?
QUIETLY ask a friend for help or raise my hand and ask the teacher
Phase 2
Processing Notes
I am stumped on my TRF - what do I do?
Ask the teacher or a classmate for help on the TRF BEFORE the day it is due.
What is the TRF bowl?
The "bowl" on Ms. E's desk with questions to use for my TRF.
My classmates are all talking and not helping me solve my POC - what do I do?
Let the teacher know and have her handle it.
I don't like the class and don't want to do the work - what do I do?
Suck it up and do it anyway - you will fail otherwise.
Phase 1
Taking Notes
My classmate is presenting their TRF in the tutorial - what do I do?
Listen to their speech, then ask them questions to help THEM solve their point of confusion
Complete it and turn it in later, but know that you will lose 40 points.
I solved my point of confusion before the tutorial presentation - what do I do?
Present your TRF as you normally would, but explain that it is now a point of confidence because you already solved it.
Are you allowed to eat any candy? chips? cookies? other kinds of food? What about drink soda? juice? kool-aid? What happens if you do?
NOPE!
It gets to be thrown away and I get an infraction
Phase 4
Summarize and Reflect
Everyone in my group has presented their TRF for the day - what do we do?
Take notes on what you learned from the tutorial and reflect on why it didn't take very long to finish
I am not passing AVID - what do I do?
Turn in the missing assignments because that is the only reason I could be failing.
Can I always solve my point of confusion?
Not always - sometimes, it will go unsolved and that is ok.
