Welcome

Here's how we will use this blog.

Each time an event is chosen for the program, the title, time and date will be posted as a heading. Under the heading you will find a description; the location will be posted at the bottom of the description.

After you attend an event of your chosing, you will return to the blog to post your reflection as a "comment" on the blog posting (under the original event listing). These reflections should include the following:

• Title of event
• Who was the presenter and why were they significant in relation to the topic
• What was the event about- this is the most crucial part of the reflection. Details related to history, events, etc. should be included in this section.
  
• What did you learn from this event
• How do you think you be able to incorporate this information into your classroom- you can include lesson and activity suggestions if you like.
  

Your reflection should be written in narrative format. They will be read by myself and Erica Roggeveen, a graduate student in Latin American Studies. We will comment on your reflections for accurancy, make suggestions for points you may have missed or properly highlighted, or make suggestions for furthering reading. The purpose of the experience is to increase your knowledge of Latin America and we want to make sure you are on the right path.

Enjoy the program. If you have any questions, please contact Erica or myself.

Take care,

Brian Knighten
