| First Questionnaire Hello Your Name: _____________________________ How do you plan to use English? In what situations? Travel (where?) Job (how?) Answering phones? Writing a fax? Entertaining people from English Speaking Countries? What do you want to do with your English? What do you want to learn in the next three days? Your current profession (what job do you do or what do you want to do): What was your most interesting job? Or where do you hope to work? Please read about my projects – you are invited to participate. I teach students who are ages 12 to 14 and some of their parents have not completed high school. Their parents don’t read to them. They don’t read a newspaper and they will probably drop out of school. I noticed that they like it when I invite an adult to speak in the classroom. I videotape the visit and put the movie on CD. Two months later, the students enjoy looking at the video and they ask additional questions… so then we send an email message to the adult and they continue to learn. It’s more fun than the books in class” (they tell me. If you would like to be a “Mentor on Video” please talk with me and I will ask you three questions after class on Thursday (or another time if you wish). Your answers will help students learn something new and become more patient. The project can inspire some students to “stay in school.” 2. Building International Bridges. If you would like to learn how your email messages can reduce problems in the Middle East, visit www.BuildingInternationalBridges.com -- for example, my niece is writing to a person from Iran and they are learning about each other’s cultures. Give Steve this paper when you are finished. Then begin work on one of the worksheets.

| Keys to Language Learning 1. Are you willing to make mistakes? (risk-taking) 2. are you going to use this language (is it relevant for you?) 3. Can you use the language today? (immediate) Ask to become a MENTOR ON VIDEO www.MentorsOnVideo.com The three questions 1. what do you remember learning in Middle School that you continue to use today? (what continues to be relevant?) 2. What do you find useful that you could have learned in Middle School but didn't? (A suggestion to middle school teachers) 3. What are you reading today that you find useful? (give an example about how you are continuing to learn and take time for reading books and articles). Your replies to these questions will be shown to middle school and high school students. The idea is to increase relevance and to help students see that adults can be mentors… Are you a mentor? If you want the Mentor Kit and Quotations to Inspire Mentors, please write to s2314@tmail.com to learn more. www.DoubleMoonShot.com Are you ready for the Flat World?
