Today: We took Quiz #2 and Kevin stumped me with a Shawshank Redemption trivia question. It's all Seinfeld from now on. After the quiz we discussed the rest of Chapter 4 from the textbook and Chapters 3 & 4 from Into The Wild. Our textbook discussion focused on the 6 career fields in the leisure services industry.
1) Commercial & Private Enterprise Recreation
2) Community Recreation
3) Outdoor Recreation
4) Military Recreation
5) Industrial Recreation
6) Therapeutic Recreation

As for our Into The Wild discussion, we focused on:
1) The significance of the Tolstoy passage, “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement & danger & the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life.”
2) The significance of Chris abandoning his car.
3) The significance of Chris burning his money.
4) What Wayne Westerberg meant to Chris

Homework: Read & be ready to discuss the first half of textbook Chapter 5. Also, your first blog post and an email to me telling me the url is due prior to Tuesday's class. Failure to do both before class will result in "no credit."

3) The 5 step process for implementing a survey as a needs assessment tool
