The “Make Sparks Fly” program is a series of 15 student lessons based on the “Fifteen Actions to Support 15-Year-Olds” outlined in Best Buy’s Teen Voice 2009: The Untapped Strengths of 15-Year-Olds. The lessons are most appropriate for language arts, social studies and career exploration and advisory classes. The program will help teens reflect on their “spark,” find their voices and develop the relationships critical to success in their endeavors. In each lesson, students will engage in self-reflection, read about relevant topics in USA TODAY and be directed to take action on the @15 website. At the end of the program, students will have a portfolio of ideas and inspirations that will help them turn their sparks into achievable goals. Through thoughtful, creative (FUN!) lessons that consider multiple learning styles, the Make Sparks Fly program will help Best Buy show that it does, indeed, stand for youth.
