Sample agenda of a meeting to solve a problem:

1. Identify the problem (define the problem, the objective), emphasize importance, state causes, identify time issues
2. Analyze the problem (what, when, how, where, who). Include facts, background, main causes, seriousness of situation
3. Discuss alternative solutions
4. Select solution
5. Make plan of action (where, when, who, how)
6. Spell check the agenda, and check to see that all items are easily understandable also by kids who are not speaking English as a first language (also, ask some of them)

Select a meeting host (meeting chairman). Set time limits for each section of your agenda.

Challenge your students to find a a topic that others sharing their career dreams are likely to find interesting. If they fail to do this, they risk being alone in their meeting rooms. Ask them for ideas about how to find such a topic.
