After reading several other blogs I realize I just don't know what to say. This week we are working on editing our peer mentor movie. I am very excited to see the finished product! We had amazing actors and I have a feeling it is going to be hilarious. After getting the filming done I am impressed at how well work together as a group. A lot of us couldn't be there for all of the filming times but there were quite a few people who stepped up and lead our team, it is awesome! Nice work guys!
Our video covers many important issues when it comes to being a first year college student. I hope it helps the incoming freshman feel a little more comfortable about life on campus. This class helped relieve the stress of being alone for me. It was never boring and often quite funny. I think every freshman should have to take a class like Hixson and have the opportunity to make a video just to bond with new people. I am still finding new perks to having this opportunity! Once the video is done we will all have something to look back on and remember what a great group of peer mentors we are!
I'm glad you are having a great time working on this project. Letting your students know how much fun you have had with it is important. Sometimes, when students haven't done a project before they can be apprehensive towards it. Being enthusiastic about the project will help your students to follow suit.
ReplyDeleteI think the movie will help students feel more comfortable about college and I can't wait to see the finished product!
