This set up is aimed at meeting two overarching objectives. 1) To familiarize you with pedagogical techniques specific to your area of interest in both theory and practice. 2) To prepare you to conduct a successful summer FOCUS program that is beneficial to FOCUS members and constituents

Something totally different (due before the end of the semester)

Something completely different/off the wall/off the beaten path Test your creativity. This entry does NOT have to be traditional in ANY way except that I have to be able to physically see/hear/experience it in some way and it has to relate to FOCUS.

1st (of 3) Service Learning Entry (due sometime around now)

Reflections on Your Service Experiences (recommended ASAP after you go attend a service event) Keep your description of what occurred to a minimum. I want you to go beyond factual information and describe the implications of what you experienced, what barriers to progress (for the H.S. students) you experienced and how you sought/will seek to overcome those barriers this summer.

Journal Entry #2 (Due March 1)

A Reflection on Public Education in Louisiana. In your own words summarize the main issues surrounding public education in Louisiana. How does this relate to private education in Louisiana? Why does this matter? Who are the heroes in the story of Louisiana education? Who are the villains? What would be best for the students? What would be best for the state? If you were the governor what would you do (would education be a priority and how would you address the issues)?
