Filming this last Sunday for the Digital Story telling project was a lot of fun. I was able to dress up and let the creative juices flow as the evil professor someone? (I can't remember what the script called my character but I know I was evil.) I got to climb a tree in Lago courtyard, something that was definitely the highlight of the day :) It was really great to have most of the peer mentors together being creative and having fun. After filming for a few hours we met up back at hixson for Hunger games, snacks and working on our lesson plans. Working on those lesson plans was very helpful in getting a better idea of what each should include. I feel I have a very strong handle of how to set up all 5 of my lesson plans for the portfolio.
Now just very excited to get to talk more about the coming retreat and the semester to come!

This Week Recap
Dane and I gave our Hixson presentation this week. I'm very glad that we made it through it and I feel like it went well. The hardest part for Dane and I was finding time to meet up to work on the project. Between my class and work schedule and Dane's class, new job and class trip it was difficult. I think we got a lot of good ideas presented and led a very active informative class. More than that we had fun doing it! (if you couldn't tell by our laughing toward the end! :) )
My favorite part of the presentation was the end when we received feedback. The most common response was that we rushed through, needed to practice a little more to appear more confident and to give more feedback after groups responses. Now that I have one presentation under my belt, I feel a lot more confident in how next semester might work and how I can improve my skills as a peer mentor. Thank you for all of your responses!
Tonight's dinner was not only delicious but very beneficial! Many of the things we talked about were things I had heard before but it's always good to have a refresher. The presenter was funny but still frightening. I caught myself realizing I had done something "unladylike" and got shifty eyes to make sure she didn't see!!! We all know what good etiquette is, but having to display it every once in a while makes us more comfortable when the situation truly counts. I'd much rather look silly/unladylike and ask questions in an environment that may giggle at me, but would support and encourage as well. Not quite the feedback I'd get from an interviewer.
