Reflection #4 due Week 7

Thanks to all of you for being so great with fashion idol! I know I had fun, i hope you did too!! One more week of dress clothes...do your best...this is when it counts. Work on preparing those interview questions...as an incentive....this week's blog will focus on just that.

Pick at least three of the questions from the list Sandy gave you to work from (and which can also be found on meincorporated.me) that you are NOT sure how to answer...and answer them here. That way your peers and instructors can give you feedback.

Write the question, then write what you think will be the best response. Do this with three questions...

Get it?? Got it??? DO IT!

Reflection Topic

Hey Scholars, sorry for the delay!

Please tell me what your ideal SERVICE LEARNING site would be. Speak to it in terms of population served, need it would meet, service you would provide. Please keep in mind that this is NOT an internship I am asking about...it is a community service site that would combine job skills, career readiness and community service all in one.

Then, let me know if you are planning, at this point, to stay at your service site next year, or if you are thinking of changing to another site and why?

Be ready for Fashion Idol!!

Week #2 Reflection/Assignment reminder!

Reflection #2:

Given that we are in the midst of a huge drought that we are all facing please click on the link below and watch the video.  It is very revealing and shocking how much water we do use.  Do you think you can become more mindful of what you are using and could possibly be conserving?  Food for thought and some action.  What do you think?  What can you do to make a difference?

Reminder that your mock letter of recommendation is due at start of class next week. Bring laptops if you have them as you will be doing some career exploration work in class for your outline that is due week Feb 19th.

Happy thoughts for each of you! 

Week #1 Reflection

Welcome Back Scholars!! Thanks for all your attention and input at this week's class. For your first reflection, please discuss your reaction to the class syllabus and the assignments you will be participating in this semester. Do you have any concerns about them or about your ability to be present for all the classes? Which assignment are you most excited about and which are you least excited about? Feel free to add ideas or suggestions about the semester.  (Can you tell I am trying to get you to look over the syllabus again??) Lastly, have you added the important dates from the syllabus into your planner?? DO IT NOW!!

Reflection...due after break...but sooner is better!! Happy Break Week to each of you....

·      Please find a way to do some relaxation and some ME time over the break....you all work VERY hard 

Describe a routine or holiday ritual, using the 2^nd person “you”:

For example, “You stand in the steaming kitchen with people you haven’t seen in almost a year. You wish your shirt didn’t have that tiny stain on the cuff. You wish your aunt’s laugh wasn’t quite so brittle. Feet stomp on the porch and you hurry to let your tall uncle in, forgetting to keep the dog from escaping outside…”
