Search online for some advisory ideas and activities and share them with your classmates. These can be projects or simple activities.
In your other class, I am sure you have talked about how rapidly adolescent's bodies change. There are a couple of ways you can document that growth at the beginning of the year that really makes an impact at the end of the year. I would use these activities at the beginning of the year when I was getting to know my students and creating a sense of community. The first is to have students measure each other's heighth with a string. Cut the string, wind it up and tape it and label with students' names. At the end of the year have them cut a new string measuring their heighth and compare it with the first string. It is one thing to say "I've grown 4 inches--eventhough they know what an inch is--it is surprising when they see the visual representation of their growth. You can do the same type of thing by taking a picture of them next to a poster on the wall and compare how tall they were based on the poster.
This is just a quick and easy activity - there are a lot of resources to use for advisory. If you come across a really good site, include the url.
