Session 1 Assmt: Hot Mommas Project Case Writing

In this exercise, students write their own case to serve as role models to other young women – as well as promote class peer mentor relationships. As a follow-on to this exercise, women will share specific challenges with the class. The class will act as a “personal board” or group of peer mentors to provide feedback to the presenters. (This presenter issue and class feedback is confidential and will not be open to the general public).

1. Students login into www.HotMommasProject.org

3. Move through the case wizard, saving frequently.

4. Complete the case prior to class on 1/22/09
