Description: This works best
for a freshman unit, although you can use it with
upperclassmen. The point of this program and/or bulletin
board is to give freshman advice from last year's
freshman (the freshman you had last year who are now
sophomores).
Instructions: Using frog cutouts (you can
also use butterflies or kites and call it "Fly
into Freshman Year"), have each of your current
freshman/residents write one piece of advice they
would give incoming freshman. If using this as a program,
put the frogs (butterflies or kites) in a jar and
when you get your new residents the following year,
open the jar at your first unit meeting. Have each
new resident pick out a frog from the jar and read
it aloud to the rest of the unit. If using this idea
as a bulletin board, which I did, staple each frog
with advice to the bulletin board the following year
so the incoming freshman have some words of wisdom
from (now) upperclassmen.
Other Considerations: Make sure to tell your
current residents to keep their advice appropriate
and respectful...meaning no bad language or deragatory
phrases.
