1. My experience in finding my mentor was rather easy. I emailed my former History teacher at Walnut Grove Intermediate School in West Covina if she would like to be my mentor for my Senior Project. She said yes and I got on with doing my mentorship. The only slight problem is that since she is a teacher I only have a window of about 2 hrs per day for the week, but I've been managing and have been working with my mentor at least 2 days a week.
2.I have to say the most important article I have read so far was an article called, "Engaging Students in Learning History," by Prof. John Fielding(Retired, 2002) from Queen's University in Canada. He is a very knowledgeable man and gave many helpful tips on how to engage your students in learning history. Some of these included Watching Films, Field Trips, Debates, and Tableaux. He stated that these are some of the most effective strategies to engage and have fun with your students while also learning History. No doubt, this has been my most important article so far for my Senior Project.
