Life Maps:
Lesson Plan |
RubricDraw/create a life map, like those shared in class, which charts your life from birth to being a student at Texas A&M University. Include significant people, places, experiences, goals, values, and/or beliefs. Include at least one picture of you on your life map, and orient your life map as a “landscape” document so that it can be easily added to a PowerPoint slide for the class presentation. On a separate page, list 3-4 academic, social, personal wellbeing or career goals for your semester and/or your time at Texas A&M. You will share highlights from your life map and goals in a 1-minute informal presentation to your classmates. Your goals will not be shared with the class.
"Did You Know?" Presentations: Did You Know Resource Sign Up Example |
RubricIn pairs, students will be responsible for preparing a brief “Do You Know?” Presentation which will be shared with classmates at the beginning of each class period starting the third week of class. For this activity, you will select a presentation week and a University office, program, resource, or opportunity. Then you will research and educate your classmates on this topic or area (2 minutes) during class on your selected week. You can share this information either as a traditional “live” presentation or as a video. Please provide your classmates with a brief handout (no more than one page) sharing the highlights of this resource area (location, contact info, website, hours, services provided, any other relevant information). This will be a way we can learn about all the University has to offer students.
