Class Discussion

          So you think directing a class is easy? Well this week we have the opportunity to direct the class for 30 minutes in a class discussion. We worked as a group of four in order to prepare a topic that would interest the class in a group discussion. We came up with the topic of healthy eating in college. 

          Many incoming freshmen fear the freshmen fifteen. Something that can definitely be avoided but only if you do not let the temptation of food buffets, fatty foods, and alcoholic beverages get the best  of your life style. Many students no longer have the option of their mothers home cooked meals. It is up to us what we choose to put into our bodies to fuel it.  Our presentation offers lots of advice for the incoming and returning student so they can make he or she is being healthy. 

                During our presentation we include a power point, personal surveys, and group discussion questions. I think we have prepared ourselves well; however the outcome of the presentation depends on how much the group participates in the discussion.  A lot of the discussion questions are open ended so there can be many different ideas that can be added to the discussion. Hopefully each answer will feed off each other to get the group to think deeper into their lifestyles. Another segment of our presentation will be focused on exercising. It is not always enough just to eat healthy; we must also exercise our bodies daily. In our discussion we will try to get the class to think or alternative methods of exercising other than going to the gym. Hopefully, people will help out and give constructive ideas. This group assignment was a test of how well we work in groups and how well we can lead a class. Join Tuesday's class for an informative group discussion on your health!
