WEDNESDAY 9/26

IC101
Today: Part 2 of our civic engagement project brainstorming session. Another good session. We got a lot accomplished over the past 2 classes. It's now your project to start to run with, and Dan & I will be there for guidance and direction. Don't forget to fill out your weekly journal sheets for the individual work you do with the project.

Homework: We will have a civic engagement discussion on Friday. For this discussion please answer the following:
-How would you define "civic engagement?"
-What responsibility, if any, do you feel the individual has with the community? Why?
-3 Cups of Tea Question 8

Parents Day: I will be unable to attend. Please send my apologies to your parents. For general questions, you can direct your parents to Molly Haas (IC101 Coordinator). She will be located in Edgewood 001-A from 12:30 to 2. You can also have your parents call or email me with more specific questions if they have them.

IC212
Today: We got away from traditional PowerPoint/Chalkboard discussions this week on the book material and incorporated individual & group exercises. For today, we had a battle of the sexes to see who could survive a plane crash in Northern Canada in the middle of the winter. I found out that I would be much better off having Alexandra tell me what to do than Matt. Please turn in your Eagle Scout badge.
