Tuesday
How to Make a Good Introduction Learn the proper procedure for introducing yourself to someone. Be sure to think about how you could extend the conversation with some light "talking points." Practice with a partner to see how well you do. You will be making a "real" introduction to a professional for a grade. Remember, you can only make a first impression once.

Your "first impression" will be judged on the following:


 * 1) Professional Attire
 * 2) Eye Contact
 * 3) Content of introduction
 * 4) Firm handshake

What Not to Wear Review the "Rules of the Wardrobe" as the guidelines of how to dress professionally for the EAT internship are reviewed. Appropriate attire for your field site classroom
 * What to wear on a field trip in which you represent the school district (Teacher's Tools, museums, etc.)
 * What to wear for extra important events (End of Year Event, school board meetings, meeting the Director of Personnel, etc.)
 * Travel attire for region and state activities

Visit the with the "Fashion Police", Mrs. Stevens or Mrs. Kallas, to get your grade for this activity. You will be taking a class photo this day, also.

What Would You Do? New Blog Post.

Part 1: Often times you will encounter situations in your field site classroom which will require you to think on your feet. Visit the class blog and select one of the sticky situations from the choices provided. Post discussion on your blog about how you could best handle the situation. Work smart! It is due today. Part 2: Discuss what you would do in a sticky situation presented to you by your EAT teacher. You will have to "think on your feet," just like in the classroom!
