TUESDAY 9/25

SR201
Today: Much better discussion today. Keep it going. We started discussing Chapter 4 from the textbook. You individually assessed your own personal leisure & non-leisure time as well as the activities that you do that fall into each category. When we discussed this activity as a group we learned that much of your leisure time is taken up with: naps, tv/computer, & socializing. We also learned that the main activities that take up your non-leisure time are: sleeping, school, & sports. We then turned our conversation to the main points that were addressed in the chapter. The 3 that we discussed were: leisure activities among college students, a decline in female participation in leisure activities, & the increase in the leisure industry.

Homework: Quiz #2 will take place on Thursday. It will be based on textbook Chapter 4 & Into The Wild Chapters 3 & 4. Remember to take a look at the study guide below, the class notes on WebCT, & to bring a Seinfeld trivia question. Don't forget that your first post for the Into The Wild Blog Assignment is due on October 2. Prior to class that day you need to have completed the assignment & emailed me your blog url. The set up of the blog should be from Chris McCandless' perspective (the main character), not from your own.

Today: To go along with the beginning of Chapter 3 which discusses "Brainstorming" we did a group Survival Test exercise. The simulation was that your groups just survived a small plane crash in mid-January in Northern Canada. As survivors you have 2 main tasks: stay warm & attract attention. You managed to salvage 12 items and need to rank them in order of survival importance. I will announce he winning group on Thursday.
