This week, August 24-26, the focus of our class will be campus resources. Knowing where things are seems very simple to us; we forget how overwhelming it might be to people in our class.
We need to use this exercise to help students get to know each other (the groups they "travel" in to get the information on their resource will be a start for them to learn the people in their KING 2000 class). I have made a "notes" sheet that I will give to each student at the beginning of class. They will use this to record names and significant information about their teammates for the scavenger hunt for the campus resources. I will take up the Notes sheet at the end of class as a class participation exercise.
I have posted both the Campus Resources Report and the Campus Resources Notes page under "Resources" on the King Mentors Bb site. You may be wondering why I am posting things on a Bb site instead of sending everything to you by email. Well, because everything is there on Bb in a secure place. I get so many emails in a day that it's easy for me to miss important documents when I get them as email attachments. I get busy or check my mail in a hurry, and you can guess the rest of the story.
The second thing we need to do this week is implore students to attend chapel and convocation. Martin will get to tell his students on Monday morning to be sure to go to Opening Convocation. The rest of us should surely make some mental notes about Walter Fluker's talk and try to get a discussion started among students who went. I posted the time and day on my Bb site for the class and told students to go. I guess I'll find out if they took me seriously.
