Comecei o manual, e decidín que ía procrastinar en procrastinação ...

The title means "I started the manual, and decided I would procrastinate on procrastination..." I know the title is ridiculously long and probably doesn't make very much sense but I felt creative at the end of this long week. I was planning to wait and do the manual at a later date but that just seemed slacker-like. I still want to uphold my dignity, so I began my manual and I have decide to post my "purpose" in this week's blog:

Purpose: To teach the valuable skill of collaboration to those who are willing to participate. Collaboration has always been a very important skill to learn and use, and it may be a necessary skill to have later in life. It is important that the foundations are laid for the young mind at Oakbrook Preparatory School. Through the various team-building activities, students will be faced with challenges that cannot be accomplished without the cooperation of a function team. Whether successful or unsuccessful, students will learn what it mean to work together, even if it is just crossing from one wooden platform to another.

I know it may not be perfect right now but it is a start and it properly explains the reasoning for doing my project. I will continue to work on the final product and will try to be ready for our practice date. Thanks for tuning in.... until after Nicaragua and Spring Break.

Jeg trenger å starte manuell!

The title means "I need to start the manual!" I have been sick recently, which adds to the senioritus. I know I need to do my manual but I do not have the will to start it. I will get it done but it will likely be drawn out a lot longer than it should be. I think that most of the stuff I will put in the manual is pretty self explanatory so it feels kind of pointless. I understand that not everybody sees the activities through my eyes but everybody has some creativity in them. I look at the activities and see multiple way to do them and it even takes away from the teacher if I write everything I can think of in the manual. I will give the basics and let everyone who reads the manual expand on the basics themselves.

The title means "Planning for the Future," because I am considering the rest of the year. I like the flexibility of my project and I am still excited about the potential it might have to continue in years to come. I have kept it portable in order to allow the expansion of the school without the destruction of my project. I hope that we will be able to expand the low-ropes course in the future so that it is more exciting and better developed. I believe that there are plenty of good options for a more permanent ropes course in the future for Oakbrook. I hope that I can do the activities one more time with the kids before the end of the year so that I can see what they have learned. I will begin to write a manual in the near future and will hopefully be able to finish it relatively quickly. Until later. Ciao
