BU COMMUNITY

After successful completion of the Final Week of FY101, students will be able to:

  • Recognize that making connections leads to a sense of belonging and overall college success
  • Make personal connections with other students and staff in FY101

Final Week Outline:

  • Take time to complete Letters to Myself during class or assign to do outside of class time
    • Letter to Myself Guidelines here (your Peer Mentor should have envelopes for your class)
    • If you haven’t already, show Letter to Myself Video before they write their letters
  • Review learning through (optional ways to wrap up and jog their memories for the end of semester feedback survey):
      • Jeopardy Labs: Make your own jeopardy game for some in-class fun and learning
      • 1 Second Everyday: A fun app that stitches the moments of your life into a single continuous chronological movie (based on their submissions or your own from class)
      • Syllabus review with class participation reviewing what they did each week
      • Kahoot: Create a fun kahoot quiz that reviews some of the learning outcomes or activities that you completed in class or random info about each student. 
      • Meme Reflection– Have each student share two memes- one to represent who they were at the beginning of the semester and one to represent who they are now. They can screen share and discuss or you can compile them in advance and share on Google Slides in class.
  • Consider having Instructor and Peer Mentor give tips for finals
  • Let your students know how you can keep in touch moving forward– can they ask you for recommendation letters? What types of things can they text the Peer Mentor about in the future?
