  1. Hello! I enjoyed reading your intern plan. I especially like that on 32A you used other people for resources instead of yourself. Pretty brave to have others evaluate you on interpersonal skills! I see that you are using EduPhoria. We are starting to use it this year. If you have any tips, let me know. I also like your 27A activity - that could be tim-consuming, but worth it. The only suggestion I would have is to look again at the activities that you use only yourself as a resource and see if there's a way to add another resource, just for outside input. I'm doing the same on mine.
