Break-out Plan #5 *Disclaimer* I didn’t have a breakout

session as they wrote their midterm this past session but this
would be a hypothetical breakout plan
Date: October 20th, 2020

Break-out Title/Topic: Importance of sleep Resources me
Check-in: (A quick, community building activity)
 I would ask how their reading week was and if anyone
had any highlights they wanted to share
2
 Ask if they felt they caught up on rest
mi
  ns
Learning Objective: (what will my mentees get out of this
break-out?)
 Mentees will learn the importance of proper rest and
sleep
 Mentees will hopefully be able to apply some tips to
navigate through their busy schedules to find the
necessary rest that they need    
Introduction: (what information do mentees need from me
before activity?)
 Sleep problems are a common occurrence for post-
secondary students
 Up to 60% of all college students suffered from poor
sleep quality
 Speak on my experience of trying to pull an all-nighter  2
but showing to an exam late the next morning and  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl mi
failing to recall anything I studied es/PMC5536318 ns
Activity: (How will I get my mentees involved in this break-
out?)
 Ask how many hours of sleep students get in a day
starting from 4 hours and ascending up to the
10
recommended 8 hours
mi
o Will ascend by intervals of 0.5 hours with
  ns
 students dropping their hands when they
reach their number
 Ask mentees what alternatives are there to get well
needed rest or what they personally do?
o No screen time before bed
o Taking naps during breaks in their schedules,
etc.
Debrief: (What did the mentees learn from what I just did?)
 Sleep is important to their every day function
 Lack of sleep and rest ultimately hinders their ability
to function to the best of their abilities
 They need to set aside time to catch up on needed  1
rest mi
  n
Summary: (Repeat the learning objective and the work that
was done to get there)
 Spoke to the mentees on the importance of getting
proper rest
 Through group discussions we came up with
strategies to aid in catching up on some well needed
rest
