During this week I accomplished the start to find ways to do the curriculum and to start creating the curriculum, but also i start to make a survey so I can have an idea of what the students already know in order for me and my committee to create the workshop and b able to provide the information necessary and correct for the in-comming freshmen to know and be aware of subliminal messages in media and how this affect them. I talk with Ann whom participate in the summer in that way i can start communicate with other people in charge and be able to do the curriculum. The challenges that I have is that I cannot communicate with the people in charge of freshmen connection so in that way we can talk and be able to find a way to change the schedule and incorporate my curriculum. Also time is going agains me since we do only have two weeks. My reflection in this week I have an idea on what the curriculum is going to look like. Is an start, I also feel that there are a lot going on and so things to do, that is taking me time away to focus on the action. The next steps are having a clear mind on what everyone in the school knows about subliminal messages in media and the causes and effects.
Journal Reflection 05/25/2012
Now doing this week i make contact with people that are in charge with the program with in-coming freshmen and they are willing to help me, and also be able to make some of the workshops. the way it is going to be is similar to the curriculum that was implemented in Chicago Freedom School, some of the personal are willing to help us and the way to make the research to see what is the best thing for them to learn. The challenges that now i have are time every single day that pass is less time for me to make sure that the in-coming freshmen can have this workshops. Then that the people were not there and the proposal start to be done, being able to get all what we want and make sure that it look like the workshops that are done in Chicago Freedom School. That is something that is going to be a challenge. My reflection in this week is that there are going to be a good curriculum and now our hopes are on the program o pass it and make it come true. Next steps are going to be get the curriculum pass and make it come true.
