Hope everyone had a great VEISHEA week/weekend! For this week in class Allie and Silas put on a scavenger hunt for us peer mentors instead of actual lecture. We were to go around with the list of buildings we were to find and take pictures of standing in front of that building that offered that a service on the list provided. Some of the listed buildings were like the Study Abroad Center, Thielen Health Center, Student Services, and Financial Aid Office. We also could take pictures with art, sculptures, and such also for points towards the scavenger hunt. While the hunt was for fun it also had a point. I felt that it was a good activity for us mentors to participate in because next year when we have our mentees they might have questions for us about where certain places on campus are and it would be great if we could lead them right to where they need to go or if we can't physically take be able to tell them where it is exactly. It was also good to just be able to bond with your group because we have to work together in our groups later on. With the hunt we had to figure out where everything was and manage our time to get back to the Hixson Building before the time limit! This our group pretty much did, but we were like 2 minutes late or so.
We also did some much needed filming tonight and I think the movie is coming along good. See you all Tuesday!
The movie is great and my scavenger team totally beat your scavenger team!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the scavenger hunt was good for us, because we will be getting asked all the time where things are on campus.
