Need some ideas to get you thinking about what stories to tell?  Here are some things we’d be interested to hear about.  Remember, these are just ideas, there is no right or wrong answer!

• What were your classrooms, textbooks, school library, auditorium, bathrooms, hallways, lockers, and cafeteria like?
• What kind of support did you and your classmates get from teachers, guidance counselors, and principals?
• Was there a time when you and your classmates were upset about a problem in your school (maybe having to do with the classes offered, extracurricular programs, or some other school policy) that you felt should have have been fixed?
• Do you have a success story to share about when students and adults worked together to fix some problem in your school?

Remember:  Think Positively!  While it is important to identify the problems in our schools, its even more important to be constructive and offer reasonable solutions for how to make things better.  So if your school has serious problems that affect students, try to offer some suggestions for how things could be improved.
