| STUDIO 2B Focus is an activity and
award series that girls can do individually or in groups.
The books in the
STUDIO 2B Focus series provide girls with the opportunity to tailor
their own experiences based on their individual needs, interests, and
skill levels.
In partnership with
their adult advisors, girls decide what they hope to accomplish with each
Focus book they chose and then set goals for themselves. They earn
the charm when they have met their own goals.
There
is no required number of activities girls must do or goals girls must
set in each book. The point is that advisors help girls follow where their
interests lead them and set goals that reflect those interests. |

1. Girls begin by
selecting a topic in the STUDIO 2B Focus series
that interests them. Girls in groups do not need to choose the same book.
They can work individually, in pairs, or as a group.
2.
Girls review the table of contents and flip through the book to discover
its activities. Girls talk to their adult advisors about what they would
like to accomplish.
3.
In most of the books, girls use the last page to set goals for what they
hope to learn through the activities in the |
book. The
books are flexible and adaptable so that each girl can create her own
set of goals, depending upon her prior knowledge and skill level in that
topic. For example, a girl who has never followed a running program would
have very different goals for On Track than the girl who has run
marathons - but both could enjoy the book's skill-based activities.
4. Girls discuss
the completion of the goals
with their advisor (and other girls in their group if they want.) In discussions
consider how articles from the Web site www.studio2b.org
or the Collections series might relate and enhance the discussion.
5. Girls get their
charms after they have completed their goals and discussed them with their
advisors. Girls can collect their charms wherever they want to-on a bracelet,
on the charm holder, on a key chain, or in their rooms. |
