Surayya Diggs-4/30/09-Sustainabiltiy Reflection
The Teach-In went a lot better than I thought it was going to go. The assembly in the morning was entertaining, my teach-in group was amazing and the closing assembly was interesting.
My group was restyled and the activity was to restyle your clothing. At first I thought that it would be really difficult for them to think of ideas, but everything flowed really well. We gave an introduction talking about what we did over the past few weeks; we used our script as a guideline, but only read off of it once in a while. After that they got right to work. I thought that an hour and 45 minutes would be enough time, but the time went by really quickly and a couple people weren’t able to finish. We told them to stop working fifteen minutes prior to the end of class.
The kids were great, a lot of fun, and very respectful. We played music while we they working, which meant that the only real sound was the music and Sadie, Maddie, and I helping out the people who needed it.
I really enjoyed the teach-In day, and once again it went a lot better than I thought it would (which was a big relief)
