Three+Week+Banquet

The Introduction to High School students will have an opportunity to informally interact with and make connects with the administrators at Maine East while demonstrating appropriate social skills. The Introduction to High School students will participate in a simulated banquet/formal BBQ experience where they will be expected to demonstrate appropriate social skills by interacting with their peers at an assigned lunch table and initiating a conversation with a Maine East administrator. The students will receive a formal invitation to the banquet and will need to complete the rsvp card. The students will receive a “WHO ARE YOU GOING TO ASK” sheet; pictures and titles of the Maine East administration. The students will use this sheet to generate questions for each of the administrators. In an attempt to create a less threatening milieu the administrators will grill the food while the teachers serve the food. The students will be assigned to tables and given basic discussion starter questions to use with their group, this would be similar to a social networking event where they would have to initiate conversations with peers that they do not know. After the students have eaten they will have an opportunity to mingle with the administrators, their bosses, to ask questions and begin casual conversations.
