I decided to have her come in on a day I was teaching. At least she could watch a class. But since I am only teaching one course this semester, I can hardly fill up the entire day with class observations.
I am also a department chair, so I do a lot of non-teaching work in my office. But the problem is that most of this work is mental work--stuff I do sitting at my desk. How do I communicate this stuff to the student?
I don't think I have any committee meetings on the day she is coming in, but I imagine that having a job-shadower at a committee meeting would be inappropriate.
I have also decided to have the student observe a filming of the next segment of my virtual office hours. That should take up another half-hour of the day.
I have some other ideas, but I am really open to suggestions here. I am afraid I am not being creative enough and I want this student to have a good experience.

Have her build you a writing shed?
That's one thing you can do with a history degree...
