At the beginning and midway through the session, we did an icebreaker called Mafia and another activity called Crime Scene which was a great activity for developing creative thinking, logic and questioning techniques. At the end of the session, we did a teambuilding activity called Chocolate River or Lava Pit. This was a fun teambuilding activity to get everyone to work together and come up with a plan to get over the river. Click on the pictures for more information.
To help the students with their upcoming presentation and blog posting, the mentors provided the students with a Presentation and Blogging workshop. Click here for more information. About the Projects: This semester, students have been put into groups and have been assigned a mentor to help them with their projects. Each group will have a presentation and a blog posting to do. Two groups will have a presentation due on October 30th and the other two groups on November 20th. Student groups not working on a presentation will have a blog post due on the same dates. The students were asked to choose from the following topics to do their projects on: 1. US Multicultural History, 2. NY Chinatown and Community Organization, 3. Asian American History/Immigration and Civil Rights. Then, they were asked to choose two topics from a list of subtopics that they are interested in doing their presentation/blog posting on. The students were also able to choose a subtopic they are personally interested in learning more about that was not included in our list.
