Shawn Hunter
He is not one to excel in school, due to lack of effort. Shawn has been in five different schools before the age of 12. He does not engage in school, definitely a distraction to Cory and other students. Shawn's socioeconomic status is definitely lower class. His family lives in the trailer park and his father has never held a real job before. Shawn is a ladies man, outside of girls his main interest is, Cory, his best friend. If Shawn was in my classroom I would try and use group work. For this strategy I would try and pair Shawn with other students, rather than Cory, to see if he could do work, or if Cory could get work done. Shawn is social maybe having group work where you can talk through problems would help him a lot. A technology I think I could use is a site where I can monitor what he has done on an assignment and when he has worked on an assignment. Another one I think would be good is a sort of iPad or other computer source that can help break new assignments apart so he can one part at a time and not feel so overwhelmed with one or two huge assignments. At this stage no Shawn is not college ready, he doesn't have study skills, and he doesn't take responsibility for his school work.
