*************************

1) Warm Up: TRF Note Revision (10 min)

1. Take out notes related to your TRF.
2. Highlight key terms and see if your definitions are thorough.
3. Look at your "show"/"Critical Thinking" box. Does it show your work? Is it a concept map or graphic organizer? If not, revise it using key ideas from your notes.

2) ACA Work Time (Until 1:50)

1. Log in to Blackboard, go to your ACA homepage.
2. Select "Lessons and Assignments" on the left side bar.
3. Choose "Week 4: College Advising".
4. Complete the WebAdvisor assignment and remember to download this as a word.docx and then upload that to Blackboard:
1. "File">"Download as">word.docx
2. In Blackboard, go to "Browse my computer" > Make sure you select "downloads" and find the word.docx to upload.
5. Locate the discussion board information and write your 3-4 sentence response. Then, reply to another student's post. Here's the prompt:
1. Create thread and answer the following prompt in 3-4 sentences: "What will help you in your advising appointments?  What information do you need?  What will make advising easier?"  Then you are to reply to ONE of your classmates' posts.  You must do TWO posts, one which you create, and one which is a reply to a classmate.
