 * Today's Objective:**
 * To meet the advisor


 * Essential Questions:**
 * What is the purpose of allowing your advisees to get to know their advisor?


 * Class Format:** Interview


 * Time Allotment:** 15 minutes


 * Today's Activities:**
 * Students like to know the adults who spend a lot of time with them. After you communicate with students what's within the boundaries of appropriateness and what's off limits, invite advisees to interview you, using any of the following formats:
 * **Take Three:** Answer any three questions that advisees would like you to answer (...might answer three on one topic).
 * **"Rainy Day" Interview Questions:** Invite students to write their questions on note cards and put them in a basket. When you've got a couple of minutes left in advisory or want to change the pace during advisory, pull one of the questions from the basket and share your response to it with the group.
 * **Seven Questions (Not 20!!):** Think of something you have done or something unusual about yourself, your family, your younger years that students would probably never guess. Then invite the group to figure out what it is by asking only seven questions. They might have to work together...negotiate...their choice of the seven questions.
