[quote=Anonymous]Go for a drive (teen driving) or to a coffee shop or favorite restaurant - somewhere your kid will go with you but you can talk. Do NOT bring a laptop. Bring paper and pencil. Before leaving, on the top of each paper, write the prompt. While driving/at the coffee shop/restaurant, ask the kid the question. Write down what they say. Repeat it back to them - so what you said is blah blah blah. They'll probably correct some or clarify or add more details. You're kind of asking follow up questions like a reporter. It's a conversation versus them writing. Talk about an interesting way to start each response - for those with enough word count, ask for an anecdote that illustrates the answer. Write it all down (bullets are fine). Get home. Give them the papers. The heavy lifting is done. They take the papers and wrote the supplementals based on the notes. Agree that once you have done this for a few you likely have adaptable ones for multiple schools.[/quote]
