Question 1: The difference between lessons with just the owl counselors versus with the middle schoolers will mainly be the understanding and ability to listen and perform skills in a quick manner. Question 2: Our teams greatest strength is how well we work together (obviously we have almost one

How will the lessons you experienced today be different when you do them with middle schoolers?

1. For middle schoolers, it will be more interactive and hands-on due to the nature of the lessons and the content. 2.
